Thanks Neil, I think that one of the most important concept is the communications and the commitment from the inside man in the defence line.

Neil, Thanks for the drill. I’m coaching under 14s this year and (due to two injuries and one player leaving) currently playing without a recognised fly-half – and we’ve been shipping tries out wide. I like the drills – importantly, in our current circumstances, the emphasis on the communication from the inside man could help us a lot. I’ll try it at our session on Sunday and let you know.
Regards
Kev

Hi Niel,
hi had played rugby for 25 years and not really appreciated the coaches role until now, I have been an assistant coach for two clubs until now the real thing responsibility me the head coach.
we have had four league matches so far and we have won two lost two, thats not my problem I feel we are too soft and we always give the first 20 mins away and I can`t seem to drill it in to them that they lost these games through it. do you have any ideas up your sleeve?

at the moment i am coaching under 13s and newley started youth rugby union sides and i will be using a slide defence as this i think is the easeiest for the players to learn at the start then i will be moving onto a blitz defence at a later stage when they have mastered this the tips have been great thanks for the help

Dear Neil,

For this I thank the sending of its response for defecate. This Video helped me a lot to coomprender the desplazameto to reduce espação the attack, leading from the inside out. This minimizes the field with the attack.

I would like to receive other videos to apply to defecate in my training for my team, the Rugby Club Curitiba.

Hi Greg, wow you’ve got a good memory as my Warrington stomping days were many moons ago now:) However, hopefully I can help you improve on the final appearance to a final win. Stay tuned as I’ve been working non stop to launch my main coaching site which will be packed with drills, articles and templates for you to use….

Neil thanks for the information and coaching points on the sliding defence , some really good points in regards to keeping the shoulders square on etc i can concentrate on these areas now when coaching the sliding defence. I think what we need as coach’s is more information on winning and working the floor also new techniques that are coming into the game agility drills , approach to contact in defence etc. In the meantime many thanks for your help and your website is really good for us as coach’s , keep up the good work Neil.

Thanks
Colin Phillips
