Turk, I coach at school and also own a little business (which I've never admitted on here before) coaching micro rugby. Kids do honeypot. It's almost impossible to stop them because of the way the game works at a young age. My own son, who is 8, dutifully puts himself on the wing as the coach says t...

Against: I scrummed against Lood Muller in club matches in the two years after he finished with the Boks. I think David Humphreys was playing for Irish Universities when they toured SA. He was on the roster but I was too busy trying to breath - those guys were fit! With: Mark Andrews was part of my ...

• Integrity- Integrity is central to the fabric of the Game and is generated through honesty and fair play The real trick to this one is to teach them to excel at underhanded sneakery and general bastardiness, while maintaining an outward appearance of honesty and fair play. Teach them early and te...

I'm convinced a heavy reliance on drills over the past couple of decades, more kids playing organized rather than figuring things out on their own in informal games, and too much coach influence (not to mention better defence) has got us to the current state where the vast number of phases is a one...

You beauty! Thank you very much. For those who are looking for something similar, I followed BiV's link and found a lot of what I needed here: http://www.irishrugby.ie/downloads/LTPD ... _FINAL.pdf

BiV, thank you. That would be ideal. Please would you post a link to one?

Some national bodies have pdfs of what you're looking for 'skills' wise. Try searching using filetype:pdf and combos of words related to assessment, core skills, etc. However, these aren't 'skills' they're techniques... 'Skill' is techniques under pressure in an open environment, and someone who lo...

I've recently done my Level 2 and much of what you're talking about was discussed during the course. I'll dig some stuff out and put something down, but in the meantime, this site has some useful stuff: http://www.rugbycoachweekly.com Take it you've got coaching quals and are just looking for some ...

Bump. Anyone?

Hello, All I post in the hopes that someone on the board can help. I am trying to set up a sort of progression checklist for the coaches at my place of work so that they can measure how much the players they are coaching have progressed. Before I reinvent the wheel, is someone aware of something lik...

Being a Bok supporter I could probably knock out a top 5 of bitter disappointments.

1. Losing to Japan - this will haunt us forever.
2. Losing to Italy
3. Camp Staaldraadt
4. The Battle of Twickenham
5. Louis Luyt

The American ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham, who does Ahmed the dead terrorist is fairly right wing, isn't he?

Sadly, that's what losses to Ireland, England and Italy deserve.

A year 10 pupil once asked me how to spell GCSE.

I questioned another pupil about the way he had written his name. He insisted he'd spelled it correctly. A week later he told me he had asked his mother and I was right.

A few years ago I received a tax rebate of £1.5k a month before Christmas. A year later, feeling skint, I remarked to my wife that another one would be great.

There was a cheque for £1.3k delivered in the post that day.

I tried again a year later but apparently third time isn't a charm.

This probably doesn't qualify as a cover, but it's a great example of a band doing something different with one of their songs. The Knife - Live - Heartbeats Diego, that is how the original version of the song sounded. Jose Gonzalez made it acoustic and then it was used for advertising (cameras?). ...

Tighthead! Nice to see you're still around

And nice to see you back. You're very brave returning when SA rugby is looking to terrible.

At least we're playing decent cricket...

A masterclass, Kiwis. Humiliated in home soil with little sign that anything might change. You should abandon us - an act of kindness - and stick to playing Aus and England. We've little to offer you as a weak currency and undermining politicians pull the rug out from any chance we have. All the whi...

I played prop from 1982. The ball was fairly irrelevant.

I was in attendance today with my 7 year old son. Despite supporting the much loathed Sarries I must say Wasps do a good day out. They have marketed so well. The first game we went to, Junior received a flag. Second time a hat. Now he's a Wasps supporter and I'm buying their merchandise. Hopefully ...

I can't remember encountering too many refs who were biased while I was playing. Coaching schoolboy games is another matter. One of my favourite reffing stories was a game that got tasty with occasional flair-ups. The ref stopped us and said that next one was going off. Our captain called us togethe...

Where are you, Bindi? There are alternatives to Rugby Tots depending where you live. Some are better than others.

The scene in Apocalypse Now where Brando throws a head onto Sheen's lap while he's tied up got me as a schoolboy. I had to cycle home in the dark afterwards.

Jaguares score 3 tries to 1 and lose in Buenos Aires - under a South African referee....the corruption of SANZAR goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on... Agreed. The way the SA ref overruled the Argentinian TMO and awarded the Jaguares a try was just the most blatant example of this, followed by ...

It's not modern but it's a chance to snatch some nostalgic glory... In 1990 Natal, who became the Sharks, celebrated their centenary as a union. They had never won the Currie Cup and were recently back in the top flight after two years of relegation. They played the Bulls who, only two weeks earlier...

Well played, Chiefs. Closing out tight games comes with experience - too good for us.

My place of employment is very close to Rugby School, Nieg. We used to give a copy of that booklet to boys who won rugby awards. They opted for socks.

So we lost again. Shite But your season is at least a success Sard, your beat the Stormers. Why poke the bear? Ox, I disagree about the back row.

That's why criminals commit crimes. It's a political protest against a society that locks people up.

This is not the exclusive domain of the religious. It's anyone who is so convinced they're right that they dismiss anything contrary to their world view. Anti-vaccination parents are on that spectrum.

Well played, Blues.

At times it seemed like both sides' game plan was to string together something promising before cocking up the finish. Sharks, for example, lost three consecutive attacking lineouts in the last 15 mins.

I felt Jaco Peyper went well.

This team will be doing bloody well to make the Cup semis. With all the players back from injury and Super rugby, the team has a reasonable chance of getting gold at Rio (along with Fiji, the BlitzBokke, Aus, and Eng Ahem. You don't rate England? They compete as Team GB at the Olympics, Kiwias.

The performances of the Sunwolves this season puts the loss to Japan last year into context. The Boks were brainless and complacent.
