Dommage qu’il n’y ai pas de traduction en français……

Charly Garcia Argentinasubtitulado en español por favor
Manuel Ramos Rodriguez SpainSpanish please, ????????????
Gearoid Clarke Irelandvery simple and clear. like the explaination of each role
Andre de Meyer South AfricaGood, clear, concise and most of all, a reminder to practice skills passing every training session.
Kas Kafoa AustraliaGreat delivery, learn a lot already in a very short time.
Nevin Morrison CanadaGood video. Just from a coaching standpoint if the 13 is too focused on impeding they don’t become a very good option for the 10. Usually I have my 13 target the inside shoulder of 12 on attack in the last few steps with hands up ready to recieve. That way the option is with your 10 to hit either player. I think this is what you trying to get across near the end of the video. I would definetly spend some time adjusting his line to add more deception.

Jonsey CanadaVery well put together, simple, concise and clear.
