hi again,

in case you guys are scratching your heads wondering about how to punish yourselves with the assortments of weights machines available in school, take a look at scrum.com's rugby fitness resource.

it's specially aimed at fitness/strength training for rugby. here's the link:
http://scrum.com/1449_1452.php

they even have structures for an entire training year from off-season leading up to during season. and remember strength training has to be combined with proper nutrition for max effect. so work hard on it but try not to kill yourselves.


cheers!

here are the highlights of one of the classic matches played between the british and irish lions and the all blacks. esp watch how the all blacks play, it will blow you away.

forwards: pay attention to the lions' pack, this is as good as you get as a forward pack goes.
backs: just let the all blacks backline blow your head off. also pay attention to the guy in the black no.10 jersey. if you dunno who he is, you ought to shoot yourself.


1st half


2nd half



enjoy!

hi guys,

the following is a very good article talking about having a fresh perspective on the traditional defense mentalities.

it talks a lot about being proactive instead of reactive and bringing the defense to the opposition. backline players should take note, there are some pretty good strategies that teaches you to contain the ball within the inside channel.

here's the article:

same thing, right click save as. requires adobe acrobat reader. have fun reading.


cheers!

dunno if any of you still remember the tackling techniques i taught you all. we'll be working on that a lot. in any case, this is one sick shit video





happy tackling!

here are 3 very very good videos imho with loads of info. leaves you no doubt with the breakdown area. pls watch carefully and repeat if necessary.

Part 1.


pay close attention to part 1 starting at 1:09 , look at the way the tongan team tackles and the way the all blacks do the quick hands. both the defence and attack are textbook.


Part 2.


Part 3.


cheers!

hi guys,

here is the most updated laws under the IRB regulation:

COMPLETELAWS_4809.pdf


and here is the U-19 laws with slight variations, i can't rmb what's the exact differences, i think it's with regards to the break down area and some other minor details. maybe more applicable to A div:
http://www.irb.com/mm/Document/LawsRegs/0/
UNDER19VARIATIONS_4514.pdf


also included is the 7-a-side law variations used for 7s games:
http://www.irb.com/mm/Document/LawsRegs/0/
SEVENASIDEVARIATIONS_4537.pdf


and finally the referee's signals, good to know the most common ones, e.g. penalty, free kick, scrum, forward pass, knock on, etc.:

REFEREESIGNALS_4538.pdf


note: right click on the link, save as. requires adobe acrobat reader.


the docs are pretty long, so read them little by little. e.g. cutting them into sections. but pls do go read up. it's imperative that you understand the laws of the game before you can play the game.

cheers!
