Course reviews

Excellent passing instruction. Perfect for one of my scrum halves who wants to improve his passing off the deck.

Scotland

Levanta la pelota antes de pasarla. Para que esto no ocurra y no pierda recorrido, la posición del pie derecho debe estar a la misma altura de la pelota, y no la pelota al interno. De esta manera el pase será verdaderamente en un sólo movimiento. También es útil pasar con una mano de pie, para acostumbrarse a no levantarla.

Great stuff – working with a new keen 9 and great stuff to work with as he develops. Cheers

As an aged former no9, this was a simple explanation, with all the relevant points. Excellent as well as enjoyable.
