    Wallabies v All Blacks Video Analysis - Attack

    hey BE, that's cool man — i'm just sharing a different point of view. If people want to put together a 'dumbed down' version of what they saw unfold I'm not stopping anyone ;) Personally, I like to understand what's really going on, why teams choose tactics over others, what the patterns are...

    Wallabies v All Blacks Video Analysis - Contrasting Mindsets

    A high-scoring encounter, Bledisloe III was known for some enterprising play. So what separates the sides? A couple of areas stood out for me, the kick restarts and the phase-play attack. Two contrasting mindsets delivered varied results for one and consistent results for the other: Part 1...

    The Day England Humbled The All Blacks (And Buried A Few Stereotypes)

    So using your logic, does this apply to NZ's "choking" stereotype at World Cups? Or does the 2011 win bury that for you? :unsure:

    The Day England Humbled The All Blacks (And Buried A Few Stereotypes)

    In light of the latest England squad announcement and after Lancaster's recent comments re. learning from the All Blacks (Article here: http://bit.ly/16cKAP4) I compiled some observations from England's 2012 EOYT victory over NZ. It will be interesting to see the approach this year as the All...

    The Counter Attack Checklist

    Counter-attack requires urgency, accuracy and optimism. How to identify or create counter-attack opportunities as a team is something every player needs to understand, from 1 through to 15. It requires a mindset shift from defence-into-attack and in super quick time, with everyone 'singing...

    The 3 Fast-Ball Generation Methods Used By The All Blacks

    hey SC, The only tactic I heard GH speak of was forcing him to commit as the tackler whenever possible (rather than being the jackler/poacher) which kept him busy enough to not be effecting a turnover: Here's some of what was gleaned, just for you! ;-) http://vimeo.com/76234194

    The 3 Fast-Ball Generation Methods Used By The All Blacks

    Thanks, yeah they are. Simple but effective I guess. You'll probably see a variation of these under Hansen's watch, but were definately implemented under Graham Henry.

    What's Your Biggest Challenge in Rugby? (Players/Coaches/Trainers/Spectators)

    I agree. So many players slip through the cracks it's a sin. In some ways I compare it to the Jamaican sprinting scene. I read a snippet from a book where Dennis Johnson (the great Jamaican sprinter turned coach) talks about how it takes four years for him to take a high school sprinter’s...

    What's Your Biggest Challenge in Rugby? (Players/Coaches/Trainers/Spectators)

    @lucky Completely hear you on that one. Had promising players from out of town move to the big rugby schools in town to further their careers through better exposure. I guess my question for you is - what kind of resource would be useful to your old country school in order to develop it's...

    What's Your Biggest Challenge in Rugby? (Players/Coaches/Trainers/Spectators)

    As I try to get more and more involved in various aspects of our sport I find myself wondering if the constant problems I face and see are the same the around the rugby universe...i know this may open a can of worms so i'll try and keep it to the main 1 or 2 specifics that I experience/see...

    First-Five Tips

    hi alex To me the flyhalf or 1st 5/8 is the quarterback of the team - the guiding player, the decision maker who decides when its on to run, pass or kick. I suppose he/she needs to be strong at game awareness and to be able to scan and make decisions quickly while under pressure. While touch...

    Lower back exercises

    Amobokoboko, Sometimes the source of the pain isn't the issue. Quite often its the opposite region which is the problem, for example your sore back could be down to weaker core stability (ie. your abdominals). Don't think of the body as separate parts, it's all connected so you have to think...

    Pre season training

    Hi brooksey101, What's your focus? Strength/Size? Metabolic fitness? Ultimately your goals and time constraints will determine your programme. You said "build muscle and work the stabilizer muscles" which i'd have thought you'd automatically include in your programme as a given, no? In the...

    Am I doing enough for next season?

    Hi Feicarsinn, lhprop1 has a point in his posts. If size (muscle mass) is all you want then by all means carry on with your programme and up your food intake (especially protein). Training this way won't necessarily make you more powerful on the field however. A bit of crystal ball gazing but...

    Moving from second row to outside centre

    Hi TS, I did the same thing a couple of seasons ago, the obvious suspects to improve are your speed, repeated speed and i'd also include lateral agility — as the new wide open spaces leave you open to be exploited by more fleet-footed backs. When you are new to the backs unit and aren't...
