Defending against attacks from the side and rear seems consistent with RAW (which don't discuss facing and Defending afaik). However, we've always viewed the requirement for a ready weapon in order to defend (and the fact that ready weapons only project into front hexes) to mean that Defend is only effective against attacks from the front.
