Course reviews

Realy clear. Alligned with Wayne Smith’s series. New tip “front elbow high”. 2nd drill excelent.

Argentina

Very good, really breaks down the skill.

England

Interesting development of the “Cat Flap” pass introduced by Ryan Martin elsewhere in this series. The use of the Tackle Pad to develop an off load from the ground is good. Watch the recent Argentina v All Blacks game, 29/9/18, aprox 19 mins into the game All Blacks No 3 Fasasi (correct spelling?) slips to ground with the ball in open play and off loads a Cat Flap pass as shown in this drill. Superb pass and confirmation that these drills and skills work in a game setting.
