Stu Barter — WalesGreat videos from Courtney. Wasn’t sure what to expect as he’s often portrayed in commentary as a tackle machine and little else.
These videos show his great knowledge and obvious work ethic but also coaching technique. Everything is clearly explained, roles identified, good examples praised. Well worth a watch.
