Course reviews

great video. It is determinant that we work hard on FIRST RECEIVER skills from understanding the importance of it on the general game. it is THE best example of going from particular to general…

Argentina

practice the skill not the drill,these drills increased the skill level dramatically in the less developed players in this group, with first class coaching prompting and keeping the players focused on the skill been developed. Thanks Gregor and The Rugby Site for the informative professional content.

Video did not work! I

England

I love Gregor’s coaching style. Very player centric…works to get the answers from the athletes. Great session with lots of good drills for the back-line player. A good introduction to the two wave attack.

Canada

Una maravilla escuchar a Gregor Townsend como explica los fundamentos, lo hace tan sencillo que maravilla

Spain

Really enjoyed both parts of this module. Thanks for the upload, will definitely be using some, if not all these drills in preseason.

Great Britain & Northern Ireland

This one of the best video regarding decision making for the attacking side. I hope that Greg will provide some other drills.
