Box drills. Box drills. Box drills. At that age group, in pretty much any sport, game time should be only 50% or less of the session. Sorry (& with luck you’re taking the kick) that’s old hat. Minis should be about 100% games. There’s nothing they can’t learn through constraint based coaching in ga...

I would take the slower, less aggressive kids aside and give them a good spray. Get right in their face so they know you're serious and ask them if they want to be little f-cking losers their whole life. Reminds them that their parents are watching and that they're ashamed. If they don't seem to ge...

Raggs, I do a fair bit. There’s a bunch of stuff that can help outside your own training environment. Especially if oppo coaches aren’t up for conditioning the games through added constraints. Play your own games within “the game”. Try playing “rugby bingo” with the kids. Agree a bunch of targets w...

Lozowski had a very disappointing game, but it was a shithouse first half generally. I'd certainly rather he got another go in front of Francis who is bang average IMO.

Homer

Why do the english rate vunipola so high? He is a heavy ball carrier. Thats it!! Doesn't jump, no good at kick off's, shit in the wide channel, lazy defender, average skill set and always injured. Is it because he goes good in the prem? Hes an old school english number 8. Offers f all but a half de...

Regardless of what country you are from or what side of politics you lean, I cannot see why anyone would think Juncker is anything other than a drunken freeloading tw*t. Will you get off the stage. We are seeing a bunch of immature fools disintegrate in the Uk and all you can do is throw digs at a ...

Thought it was funny how it was all England declares war on Germany and Englishmen fighting Germans rather than Britain declares war on Germany and British fighting Germans. It really wasn't. There were representatives of all sections of the forces in the vox-pops, including Aussies. At the start t...

nobody else a fan of Morgan then ? he's become the modern day equivalent of James Simpson Daniel, did he take a dump in Eddie Jones shoes then or what to get disfavoured for Shields ? Always been a big Morgan fan - he's a very good number 8. In the absence of BV he would be my first choice, but I w...

I'll be building a new bottle shop/bar quite close to the centre of town. To save the four hour commute to my part of London I was thinking of staying down there Mon-Thurs eves and was hoping for at least a couple of decent pub options. Christ, is there really nothing?? Guildford is one of the rich...

I assume coaches do discuss tackling technique with him, but he definitely misses too many. On a completely different level my 12 year old son loves to tackle, despite being small. I watched him in a school game a few weeks ago and he missed loads. He wasn't chickening out, but was flying up out of...

Youngs so far has been excellent this AIs. I might be imaging this, but I think he always plays much better against SH than NH teams? Nearly all his highlights/good games (off the top of my head) are against SA, AUS & NZ Not sure if you're imagining it but it's certainly not an iron law. One of the...

Homer

Farrell's missed tackles were mostly not as a result of him deliberately rushing up, either. Multiple times players just ran into him then past him, he made incredibly weak efforts to tackle Crotty and Ben Smith for example. So weak that I struggled to see any real attempt being made. It's bizarre....

Businesses are calmer. Hence they aren't as hysterical. Businesses always warn about things they inconvenience them. They always want ever lower taxes, more freedom from regulation (regardless of history like the 2008 crash) and the like. They have seen the future for 2 years now and are sticking w...

Does anyone else on the AB's side of the fence have a bad feeling about this? English team decimated by injuries - surviving a close battle with SA - underdogs, poor form......is this not the backstory to a glorious win by the guys in white? It's a one in a million chance... Our only hope is GTAAF ...

I think it is fair to criticise the airport for not having a type of wheelchair that can be pushed/or self propelled (they do exist), even if it wasn't their fault that this person's own chair went missing. I can definitely understand why he did not want to be wheeled around by somebody else, from t...

SA made precisely NIL offloads in game Read these stats: Eng on left, SA on right. 13 Clean Breaks 4 20 Defenders Beaten 23 8 Offload 0 I made this point while watching the game. I could not understand why England were going high in the tackle and getting bounced when they could have gone low more ...

-Bosch, Neff, Siemens and Gaggenau are all part of the same company. You can often spot the same oven with a slightly different fascia between the brands.
-We have a Siemens oven with pyrolytic cleaning (6 years in) and I do love the feature.
-Miele are always highly rated, but they do cost a lot.

My few rather unsurprising observations from the match on Saturday: -Stuart Barnes is an horrific commentator. He spouts absolute bollocks. -Clive Woodward also speaks utter horseshit on Sky. -England's scrum is still very creaky. I don't really have a solution for that though. -Predictions of Itoje...

Very disappointing that Cipriani isn't in the squad but it was always going to be difficult with Mitchell as no.2. The consensus from the journos on the podcasts is that Farell will be the starting 10 with a ball carrier at 12. I don't understand the co-captain arrangement although I suppose it mea...

Hello forum experts on GoPros... I could google this shit but frankly I can't be bothered wading through reams of bullshit marketing (or even worse, video reviews) to find the little bits of information that I'm after.

Good win for England today. Pretty good game. Changing subject entirely. I had a chat with an English mate this evening (Blackburn lad) and we discussed who are the UK's top 10 ever footy players. We came up with this: George Best Bobby Charlton Alan Shearer John Charles Kenny Dalglish Gareth Bale ...

Southampton. Always jammers. Bushy Park gets crazy numbers over the summer. Lots of competitive Dad types trying to bomb around with their three wheeled buggies or berated their 8 year old sons for having stitch. Plenty of buggy and dog runners here too. Good few 12 year olds taking the piss as wel...

Achtung running people. How does one go about making decent improvements into your 5km time? BC, you were talking about having to focus on that if you want to break the 20 minute mark. What sort of approach helps bring the overall time down? For the last few months I've just been running 5km once a...

Mog, Moggy, Mogster - Khabib is a far more well rounded fighter. Look at his record 27 wins - 8 via KO, 9 via submission and 10 via decision and he's a combat sambo gold medallist not to mention insane wrestler. McGregor's brown belt in BJJ is for shit. He got qualified by his head coach. All his l...

Khabib also rocked Conor with that overhand right. McGregor's stand up had virtually no influence on the fight and that includes the third round which was largely fought on foot.

Occasionally see a couple of Hummer limos in Guildford, they are massive and you could definitely get 20 people in there. But I'd have thought everyone would be too spread out to all die in an impact unless it was a proper nasty one that basically rendered the limo into scrap metal, which doesn't s...

18 people in the vehicle (2 others were pedestrians). Almost certainly more than it was designed for. Those things are pretty unsafe at the best of times compared to a normal vehicle.

Reports are it was travelling at 60mph through the stop sign, which is very fast if hitting stationary objects.

Homer

It depends on how much McGregor wants it. He’s not really hungry any more, he has everything he has ever wanted. That takes a huge edge off in the fight game where one mistake can cost. His crucial mistake (and where Khabib did his homework) is that he is used to touching his smaller opponents with...

Not interested enough to turn up and pay though. Haha, yeah. You should never judge peoples' priorities by what they say but rather how they act. Yep. If the question was 'Do you have any interest in women's sport', quite a lot of men might say yes. If the question was 'Do you regularly attend wome...

What was wrong with the old one :evil: - couldn't they just keep upgading on the existing chasis? It had been - numerous times.

Difficult to take too much styling information away from a heavily disguised prototype. Suffice to say though, it isn't going to be the same beast as the old defender. Whilst it will be the most off-road capable vehicle JLR currently do (looks to have good entry/exit angles), IRS is more for on-road...
