http://www.rugbytactics.com/ Some great moves.

When the kids get to high school, the parents seem to back off, content to let teachers do it all, and I mean all sports, not just rugby. Get them involved, even if it is to help ice injured players, or hold tackle bags. A lot of dads would love to help out but feel they are not needed. I had a...

Aggression is all good but they have to learn the basics first! The drill I described is ten minutes or so, not a whole season! It would be bloody stupid to have them going full on without some form of logical progression. Nothing wrong with starting slow and building up. I guarrantee you if a...

Slade is 1st V. The only way Cruden will be getting game time, or even on the bench, is after injury to Slade and Weepu. They are just being prudent by having a backup in case it all goes completely disastrous this weekend or next.

Some of my thoughts on the Code of Conduct for Coaches COACH’S CODE OF CONDUCT 1. You have responsibility for your team and its supporters. EXERCISE IT. If Parents are going nuts on the sideline and abusing the ref and opposition. Tell them it is not acceptable. If they keep it up, take...

Pair them up. Each pair stands 5m apart. Tackler on his knees. Player with ball walks towards player and is tackled. Ball carrier alternates left and right side of tackler. Tackled player learns to fall and place the ball. Repeat 5 times each side. Swap over. Gradually increase speed, then have...

No, Not really an issue. He still holds dual citizenship. He also announced he would always support the ABs over the Wallabies. Guess he must like winning.....

Ooh. I know. Didn't some Welsh soldiers wear leeks stuck to their helmets to help distinguish themselves from the enemy a long time ago?

The irish guys I talked to at the game last night are just ecstatic about how good their team is going. They are loving it. Yesterday was a big day in the student ghettos. Massive parties where a lot of Irish supporters just walked in off the street with their BYO and got into it. I drove down...

Sounds like some hookers for Aus, NZ and SA so may not be that big an issue. Short lineouts have been making a greater appearance in the games now so teams may be able to counteract a weak throw with subterfuge.

Forecast not looking good. If this weather system moves a bit faster could be dry but I reckon odds on for a wet sunday.

Italian hooker just tried to pluck the Irish prop's eye out. ref missed it.

try to georgia 7-5 They are not rolling over for the argies.

I don't think enough kiwis care enough about aussie teams to even know that Bieber is moving teams. I never saw a single article about Horwill taunting cruden. Tired media hacks generating column inches. Past players seeking the limelight making stupid sound bites. The experience of aussies...

Steve tew has admitted it is an empty threat. There is no way that the ABs would not be there. The issue is the $13M it will cost the NZRFU to compete. Hopefully the IRB will make some changes before the arrangements for 2015 are finalised.

Of course there is . We also hate Wayne Barnes and Quade Cooper. Hadn't you noticed?

Don't get stressed when you see Kiwis supporting the underdogs. We have embraced the whole concept of the tournament. Look at the england games. In the cheap seats are the same groups of scarfies who have supported Argentina, Georgia now Romania. It's fucken awesome and we are loving it. It's...

Or maybe he is just not pushing the envelope so much at this tournament and trying to make sure he gives no penalties away at all. I think fetchers who are effective at their job because they play the ball illegally are getting caught easier now that there are often less bodies flying into the...

Yeah, no matter what changes you make, there will be some way devised by weaker scrums to try and counteract stronger teams.

We don't want to go back to that. I remember those days well, eyeing up your opponent, looking for slip or distraction so you could call in the scrum when they were weaker. I believe if the refs enforce proper binding, especially LH getting their arm up and binding to the side and not on the...
