World Cup winning coach Wayne Smith has put together a FREE rugby video coaching module. Filmed at Harrow school, Wayne will take you through a ball handling session, highlighting a number of functional drills that have real game application.

I find support play hugely inspirational and motivational to me as a coach. In this video I will show you the ways to get players involved with ball in hand and through effective positioning of players in support, give continuity to the game and an ability to play fifteen man rugby.

The more you practice the fundamentals under pressure the more effective you’ll be. The technical points of catching and passing have to be made either in games or by putting defenders up. In this video I focus on developing key attack approaches and how practicing the fundamentals under pressure is critical.

Identifying where the space is and getting the ball there as quickly as possible is the key to any effective attack. In this video I’ll take you through what I look for in an opposition defence that shapes my decision making on attack.

In this module we look at setting up a starter move from set piece based on what the opposition are giving you. I’ll present a simple way to scout an opponent, come up with a play then how to create variations off that play. So that you can attack the space that is given to you now.

In this video we will build a backline based on logic. Establishing firstly a base combination between 9 and 10, which is hugely important for a backline to function and then looking at the roles of the rest of the backs. Giving us a backline with real rhythm and timing.

The difference between the best players in the world is their ability to perform the basic skills under intense pressure. In this video I focus on developing catching, running onto the ball and passing skills. These are the attack fundamentals you have to do well to fix the best defences in the world.

Who are you going to attack? Why are you going to attack them? How should you go about it? Research says that a lot of our champions have great game sense through playing games and being involved in game like situations at training. I believe games help make sense of rugby.
