I am editor of Rugby Coach Weekly
- I played rugby for almost 30 years, and most of my senior rugby on the wing and full back. I've coached rugby for nearly 30 years too. I cannot think that putting a foot out when catching a high ball is a good thing. It has to be discouraged. (PIC from Telegraph)
- Initiations at uni sport are going to kill sport for many youngsters. I'm old. I can't stop it happening. I don't think the unis can. What can be done?
- Watch where Smith goes after he made the pass!Thought this was a significant moment. Shows England can be a bit more ambitious early in an attacking sequence after recovering Youngs' kick (a la France). Earl > Smith > Ford > Lawrence and the ball is across the pitch into space. This was how Tigers developed, too.
GIF - Congratulations any coach who posted NOTHING about their score, or even a hint. Ninja status for those who posted something about the quality of the food, referee, parents' praise, or the smiles.
GIF - Experimental exercise for jackalling. Each ball is slightly further than the next. This activity needs improvements. Look forward to your comments! @AndrewBrownhil @tgbrock @RaversgGreen @GedHall5 @TheHollingworth @John_OConnor00 @LynchCoach @TMRugbyCoach @Frontrownh @OURFU_RDO
00:00 - Replying to @LahartJack and @afneilWe are a net contributor to the EU, so I think that doesn't make sense?
- High tackles - try refereeing a game with no touch judges and then making "marginal" calls on what is a high tackle or not. It's very tough in real time and you don't always have a clear angle. This was me with U14s today. Sympathy to any referee.
- "Sometimes a drill is a safe space for a learner when they need some support. The chaos of a game can lose them and fail to create confidence. "In rugby, tackling, contact and even just some introductory ideas can be best developed in a low stakes drill". Discuss
- What opinion of yours in sports coaching will have you like this? [Idea stolen by the way!]
- After watching a grassroots game: "Well played lads, plenty of endeavour" After watching an international: "It was a boring game, not enough of this, too much of that, the refeee was this, the coach was that" Do we need to adjust our lenses?
