Course reviews

Used training U15s backs last night. Excellent session.

England

Loved the static error correction especially for the no. 8

Scotland

Great fundamental point of staying square with the challenge of starting flatter but holding your feet and taking your timing of the inside player. I see a few of the players dropping there hands and reloading after they initially catch the ball instead of catching early in a position that they can give a one motion pass when they catch it.

Japan

Great to get the attack to think about the various defence shapes

South Africa

Wonderfully simple…

England

Simple and effective. Going to use it in practice today!

Canada

AWESOME

USA

simple is nearly always best . great explanation

England

great for player understanding. key is coach ability to challenge players understanding

Ireland

Excellent video!

Argentina

Very good, video, I will use that.

England

Great content again, we’re always looking at getting our players to attack flat on the gain line, with the execution of catch early and release early. Cheers Dave

Australia

Great video to keep players square while passing and attacking the gainline!
