Rebels 2013

[TOCC]

Sorry if my english isn't very good.

I mean in Australia New South Wales the game is pre-established for the first 4 or 5 phases (maybe more). At Toulouse after 2 or 3 phases players don't know what they must do so they must adapt. This way of playing rugby at Toulouse was theorised in the 80s by Robert Bru and coach Pierre Villepreux, they called it "intelligence situationnelle" in french, in english we could translate it by "to be able to think by yourself and take the good decision (individually and together) given the situation on the pitch, if you have the ball or not." Two points are important here : the general movement around the ball holder and the capacity not to fall down on the pitch to play standing up by using pass just after contact (i'm not sure this is the good term, i mean when a player is tackled he must try to pass the ball to a partner before falling down on the pitch in order to avoid a ruck).

I don't say there is better method but that's different and some players need time to adapt.

fixed it for you

That's 3 potential wingers down for the first game of the season then.

yes forgot about woodward

perhaps we could borrow one of the 23 they have at the tahs

 

[Braveheart81]

You can have Michael Hodge. He seems like the guy least likely to get much of a run this year.

i was thinking more the new guy, who used to play aussie rules, apparently only just learning the game, so shouldn't be much of a loss

Mitchell.

 

[swingpass]

Mitchell.

if JOC (James O'Connor) is 5/8 and beale FB then mitchell and inman in the centres and rokobaro and ? english on the wings or sidey at IC and mitchell on the wing. loss of woodward and vuna looking problematic

I was thinking more something like this:
9 Phipps
10 Beale
11 Mitchell
12 JOC (James O'Connor)
13 Inman
14 Rokobaro
15 Kingi

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

phipps, JOC (James O'Connor), Rokobaro, Sidey, Inman, Mitchell, KB (Kurtley Beale)
Strizaker, English, and either hegarty or Angus.

vuna is a big loss as that is some good experience gone. looking forward to it though. 2 weeks to go!
predicting 15-17k in attendance.

and a rebels win.

if kingi is available, i'd say he'll be a wing. one of KB (Kurtley Beale) or JOC (James O'Connor) has to play fullback - they've got experience

Apparently he is back this weekend.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Kingi is the guy for the wing. I think it'll be

9 Phipps
10 Beale
11 Kingi

13 Inman
14 Rokobaro
15 Mitchell
