Paul Platts New Zealand

my team always had a jagged line.cant wait to do this session with them

selwyn bruins South Africa

Great video which highlights the key points of a good defence. Would like a bit more explanation on the shape of the defence which would appear more of a v shape rather than a straight line. This is also a simple drill that can be expanded to focus on a number of key skills in a small sided game.

Anthony Mills Australia

NO puedo ver el vdo de defensa de Gragam Henry ! Aguardo solución . Saludos .

Al seleccionar videos en español aparece este video. Pero solo esta subtitulado en chino y frances… por favor pongan los subtitulos…

Sebastian Suarez Argentina

Great video . Maybe for future videos it might be an idea for the players to be wearing numbers on their backs to make it easier to identify which players should where

Jonathan Traynor Ireland

Clear pathway to build a defensive system for your team.

Phil Sharpe Great Britain & Northern Ireland

Spanish subtitules.

ERNESTO SCHIAFFI Argentina

Toru Kono Japan

No subtitulan en español

Eduardo Martin Mendez Argentina

Another master delivery, very clear.

Kas Kafoa Australia

Excellent- straightforward, well explained and asks for ‘imagination’ input from coaches.

Angus Firth South Africa

It’s not loading, for some reason…

Dave Mallett South Africa

Brilliant stuff! Basic and genius at the same time.

Michael Collins Canada

Excellent video I have drummed in to my club side, line speed, line integrity, tackle technique and communication along with a good work rate and attitude. Defences win Championships and that is true as we have been crowned league champions with 2 games to spare, best defence in the league. Thank you Sir Graham and Rugby Site.

Richard Bell England

Love it, I have used the same system with A,B,C but you have put it in a lot more detail and especially with all the structures and communication, line integrity, just awesome …. thanks

Hopoate Tupou USA

The great thing is these lessons can be applied to any level

Mark Rusden USA

The attention to detail around Line speed, line integrity and communication is of vital importance in defense structures and applid systems. This video is extremely helpfull and informative, the naration nd visual display is simply excellent.

Andre de Meyer South Africa

I have learned a lot of what we can do to keep the ball going…

Maikali Tuinabua England

Muy completo y claro , nos muestra lo importante que es la defensa de juego abierto y desde las posiciones fijas , con buena comunicación , saber dónde estar y a quien tácklear y buena lectura

César Cat Uruguay

One ward AMAZING! I don’t know where to start to explain how helpful this video is to my team as a coach and as a player. Everything makes so much sense and easy to apply in the game. As a coach you will learn what to do and as a player these drills will help you to be better and use it as. Your advantage.

Sala Lafaele Canada

Look forward to putting this into our training sessions. Cheers GH.

Roimata Minhinnick New Zealand

It’s the same as Post / Pillar or Guard / Body Guard, who protect the fringes, and the Lead who takes the obvious first receiver. I’ve found it easier to just call them A, B, and C. A pressures ball, B assists A or checks inside ball from first receiver, C covers first receiver. The “inside” as mentioned at the clinic deals with the fact that practically every international team can put more width between 9 and 10 than most of us school / amateur coaches see, and have at least one, if not multiple runners, capable of attacking the space between them.

Great drills in this, and I like that the line isn’t totally ‘flat’ with the slight ‘v’ shape allowing the outside defenders to see what’s going on inside them and not over-running their team mates (allowing inside attackers to slip behind them). Also easier to cover line breaks and kicks as such.

Rob Canada

Hey Cam, the way I interpreted it RAIL was an advancement made on the system shown here. Graham said in Toronto that for the longest time his All Black team used RAL, but they only brought along the ‘I’ in RAIL in the last short while. I think the 1,2, or RAL is used here as really the RAIL system was created to cater specifically to his NZ side and their opposition. That is to say, RAL would be easier for a coach to implement for a school/club side. Hope I’m close to being right.

Awesome clinic and video.

Rowan DeBues Canada

At a recent clinic Sir Graham put on in Canada the defensive set up he discussed was RAIL (Rock, Action, Inside, Leader) rather than 1, 2, Lead. Is RAIL a simply an exention to this video?

Cam McArthur Canada

there is a typo right at the end Graham means “Roles” as opposed to rolls which would actually be kinda confusing to a novice, please tidy up

on the whole graham shows his class and this is my favourite vid i’ve purchased so far close second goes to “buiding a backline” by Wayne Smith

Lovely

Jordan Watson New Zealand

Excellent video. I really appreciated the “chalk talk” as well as the little touch of when Graham Henry addressed the viewer directly. It made it seem more interactive than simply watching a video.

Tony Healy Canada

Good vid. PDF should include info on the defensive structure for the various scenarious mentioned.

Anthony Ronan France

Outstanding explanation.

Yves Michael Belgium

Great vid.

Positives: real time sessions; loads of good tips that look at the whole rugby player and coaching ethos; and progressive game-based drills.

The PDF accompaniments are a must!
