I need ideas for fun team building activities and any fun games to help towards team building. Has anyone got any ideas on what to do? Anything to spice up rugby training sessions in the dark, cold winter nights.
someone once said that my team had a "line out" very bad, and I want to give me ideas on how to improve it, make plays and surprise that are new for the other team, thanks
as I can improve to my lifters in the line out with a second it lines of 2.04 m and 115 kg?
Line-outs - scenario is that in a line out, the lifters hold the jumper up for a lengthy time - is there a law or regulation covers this? Should the lifters/jumper be allowed to do this or should he be lifted and lowered immediately upon receipt of the ball? Thanks
Following on from Question about U10 Lineouts - Is it allowable for players at this age to practice the lift in training? I dont think its advisable for a match situation at this age but would like to start coaching it now so as to give development time.

Can you lift the legs when clearing out the ruck and if so what happens if you take the player off his feet to the ground?
Can anyone explain what a quick throw-in is and how it works?
Any advice on uncontested line out variations?
Hi there, I was wondering thoughts on forward positions at the kickoff. Do you have the catchers deep so the are coming forward to meet the ball or have one deep and one short? For the pods do you have a "quick" pod made up of all three loosies and a lock and a "slow" pod made up of the front row and the lock or do you split them in two pods made up of a prop, a lock and two loosies and the other pod of a prop, a lock, the hooker and a loosie? Who would you tell to be the ball carrier, body movers and bridger? All thoughts welcome. CheersDave
