hi guys
the past videos have all focused on continuity and backs play and all, but there's also the unseen side of forward play that is so crucial to the game. here are a couple of videos showing you that forwards play, esp. the loose forwards, also takes a tremendous amount of skill too.
so for the future loose forwards to come (read: judokas, and other aspiring people), watch carefully.
and here's a tribute to richie mccaw. possibly the best open side flanker in the world:
cheers!
hi guys
another quick video to recap the tackling techniques. hope you haven't forgotten all the details. if all else escapes you, remember the simple rule of thumb:
- HIT
- STICK
- SQUEEZE
another quick look:
also replying to yier's tag:
- yes, what the manga shows is the swerve, but unfortunately footage of a good example is hard to come by, but i'll try.
- also regarding the swiss ball, yes it's good for core stability. what that page explains is correct but rather brief. for a more comprehensive one, go look at scrum.com, it's got a much more comprehensive explanation plus excercises without the use of a swiss ball.
and before i forget: reminders again to make yourselves available this coming saturday for the team dinner. it's a tradition, plus you get a chance to see many old birds and cocksters whose names are stuffs of legend/notoriety.
cheers!
hi guys
here's another pretty good video showing you the fundamentals of some evasion techniques while you are running. watch it carefully and keep in mind that the important things are moving your feet, drawing the defender, the acceleration after changing of direction and the timing of your sidestep.
cheers!
hi guys,
all of you should be familiar with this game by now, it will become a staple of our training sessions in the days to come.
so, here's a video of how the pros play it, where you see it's a fun-filled game yet highly competitive:
enjoy!
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!
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!
