Course reviews
Epeli Davetawalu Arabian GulfGreat drills – great wording there “lower shoulder wins and winning race in the break down areas.” Thanks for sharing.
Kevin Sullivan USAHow is it y’all have just the “thing” the moment I need the thing…. Part 4: Kill Cleanout is perfect for my small, but mighty U19 women’s side.
John Nel EnglandLike this very much. Like the 3 key points at the recap. great drill also. For forwards this will be great, winning the race and also resetting runners quickly once we have secured the ball.
Jarrett McGregor New ZealandVery good game based activities James and team. I have struggled to formulate a simple game where wingers that are on attack scan and call so seeing your activity to promote this is a game changer for me. Ka mau te wehi.
Daniel Bianco IrelandA 2nd defence line( L 2) in the “ building a successful phase play” module could give more reality to the game beyond the first line of defence. Maybe call : yellow for the kind of D and a double number ( 4-1 for example) for the numbers in first and second line of D to give Attack the chance to train continuity beyond the L1
Cristobal ugarte Chileno se puede ver el video!!!!!
Mariano Viton ArgentinaVery usefull drill! It would be even more helpful if you could add the subtitles (CC) at least in english. (in spanish would be awsome!)
Rob Agnew EnglandExcellent drill to help develop transition/reaction in a game
desmond harty IrelandCan you explain the calls-yellow /blue.? Clarify please
Hugo Borella GermanyNice simple drill but so much one can learn from it.
Takai Taulanga New ZealandGood drill
Lesaoai filivao AustraliaAwesome drill
Remco Donkers NetherlandsI like these kind of drills. They have a great impact on the game but are still easy to explain to the players.
