Clarence Enoka New ZealandGreat coaching, player buy in and I like the way Mike empowers players to come up with the answers
Andrew Jack AustraliaHave issue with LH putting outside leg forward to balance, this was a great help in getting the hips and balance sorted
Richard van Schelven NetherlandsExcellent presentation. I will inform our coaches about this one. Really enjoyed it and practice it with my boy.
Luca Gubinelli ItalyA great master, able to explain with exceptional competence but simplicity too, all the propedeutical work to build a good scrum. Simply excellent
Steve Botha South Africavery good and I like it that as long as we as a scrum all follow the same system
Chris Collins AustraliaExcellent presentation with practical techniques that can be implemented immediately.
Alexander Lam Sam New ZealandSimply put, MAGNIFICENT!! Thank you for emparting your wealth of knowledge.
Todd Elliott USADo you need another comment of praise? Probably not. But you’re getting one. That was brilliant!
Paulo Westerlund AustraliaThis is so helpful, great technique and well explained.
Peter Telford EnglandOK. So this programme with centring makes “sense” of the Profile or Tower of Power. It gives it energy, resonance, strength, power. Then together in the scrum you can create a locked synergy which turns ordinary into extraordinary. This season we took our disjointed U13s forwards through this whole set up, building these values in and repeating it over and over. They have just won the Devon U13s Cup on a windy rainy afternoon against much bigger teams two of whom beat them massively at the start of the season. It works.
Reg Korau New ZealandGreat key points, locking mechanisms
Roger C Croft FranceBrilliant, as usual, I Watch it regularly, so I do not forget.
John Hobbis Harris EnglandI think the Youtube version of this same video is more up to date, Mike setup skill are so easy to understand and apply. Excellent as ever Mike
Matthew Pickston USAJust taught a flyhalf how to scrum. Awesome
Drew Vautin AustraliaThis guy is the Yoda
Joel Waldock CanadaCould we get a quick new video of the best way to set up with the new engagement laws? Body position stays the same, but the initial set up is different with the bind instead of the touch pause.
Dallas Price CanadaLove the detail in this video, but as a trainer I completely disagree with forcing an anterior pelvic tilt before loading your spine. The safest and strongest point for your spine is neutral. To force hyper extension is actually weakening your spine. You need to encourage your players to find a neutral spine and then engage their core as they crouch to be able to maintain it while in scrum position.
Dirk BelgiumExcellent video from a legend.
Nathan Kelly AustraliaVery good video, but does this set-up still apply for the new scrum laws and sequence?
silao AustraliaGreat step by step video on scrummaging. I am an ex-boxer and its proven even with rugby a well balance body generate a lot of power. This will be a great help to my team.“Awesome”
Kanyi Gitonga KenyaExcellent video for anyone looking to get a consistent approach to scrummaging with their team. The attention to detail is spot on and the delivery is straight forward and easily applicable to all levels of the game.
Flanker RussiaThis is precious knowledge from a legend. One of the most educational rugby videos I have seen. Great job.
Josh Clifton New ZealandMy son is 9 and just starting out as tighthead prop. It’s his first year playing rugby and this is a must for body positioning…Great Stuff!
Jackson Thom USACurrently planning a scrum fundamentals lesson and this is incredibly helpful. I’ll agree with Charles and say I wish I’d had this stuff back in the school days… And with Ian about getting more Cron!!! Awesome.
Rob CanadaBrilliant techniques to get body positions sorted!
Ian Gould Great Britain & Northern IrelandMore Mike Cron please!! This is excellent and his delivery is spot on, he has the guys attention and they clearly learned a great deal.
Charles James Mangold South AfricaI have heard a lot about the legendary Mike Cron’s coaching techniques. I wish that I had bought this video a lot earlier in my coaching days. It is an excellent video with attention to detail and I can recommend it to all forwards’ coaches. Over time I have built up a library of books and videos about various different topics. This video of Mike Cron rates as one of the best per category. I’ll definitely put it to good use.
