I like the simplicity of this drill and Coach Stiles’ explanation and desire for correct technique at slower pace rather than brute force.

USA

Nice video, simple technique tough very effective

Brazil

It is good to see the pros not getting it right on every rep. It helps me to teach my young players to focus on the fundamentals. It helps to instill our mantra of the basics of Rugby apply to all levels. Thanks again.

Australia

Good simple drill, great to see Nick put an emphasis on the footwork. i have seen other similar drills without this important point.I will use this drill with my players.

Ireland

nice

Australia

Este ejercicio le da al jugador la claridad de que tiene que impactar con su hombro y un blanco claqro que esta debajo del hombro opositor.-

Argentina

Clear and concise, good to see Nick as a top flight coach.

France
