Course reviews

Awesome!

Spain

Oh, sensational, learnt so much, feel like I can be a prop now, jokes

Australia

Few coaches get to the detail Kees has in this video…loosehead fighting to the sternum makes a huge difference and I’ve not seen it in other videos…thanks Kees

USA

Fantastic explanation of those details of the front row work that make the difference

Italy

a great breakdown thru the 4 modules , good explanation on loose head versus tight head head positioning of their heads to counter act and react to each player.

New Zealand

Great series, any difference for women where the centre of gravity is lower, in terms of when Kees says “lower your chest even more”?

Canada

Hi there as an forward coach I thought to have these tools at your disposal you can only grow .as a coach learning the art of front row play and also the safety of the players.fantastic !!

South Africa

Superb From Saminda Sri lanka

Sri Lanka

England

Great Kees sorted out my question in mike crons section about new laws

Australia

what a great session. so good for coaching teenagers.

Australia

Lots of helpful informations..great demo

USA

Kees Great video, Would not mind some pointers on the hooker attacking/defensive point post engagement before ball feed. But one of the better videos that I have seen.

Australia

This is an awesome series. Really builds on the Mike Cron scrum videos. It is nice to see Kees explain the new engagement laws and how they pertain to creating a great contest at scrum time. One question, are the tight head and loose heads responsibilities the same regardless of whose put in it is?

Canada

Great short course for young Props. Excellent explanation, manner and confidence in presentation.

Canada

Excellent pre engagement drill dont forget to grip the ground with your toes

Ireland

Kees noticed your props using the top of their heads against oppositions shoulder for support, could this be used in a game for extra support

New Zealand

there is no audio

Australia

Don’t want to be negative, but there are some problematic elements (promoting anterior pelvic tilt) toward spinal organization pre engagement. Maybe it will be sorted, but not a cue I would feel comfortable using. Other issues around the players necks in a flexed position. I sort of feel that spinal organization comes first, and correcting one area of spinal alignment, at a a time is counter productive, and could delay progress of coaches trying to learn for that clip.

Canada

Very good explanation, key points forcefully repeated.

France

Just one confusion. Kees talks of pelvic area forward, but Cron talks about hips / out (Ducks arse) ?

New Zealand

Really useful video, can’t wait for part 2.

England

Being a forwards coach, the safety of my players at scrum time is hugely important, and this video showing how to get the prop into the correct position is invaluable. Thanks.
