Course reviews
Henry Els Adams — South AfricaAwesome presentation Greg. I liked the question-and-answer part where both player and coach’s knowledge were tested continuously.
Roque Raul Lagarde — ArgentinaNosparecenlostextos
Tank Lanning — South AfricaObviously coaching the “Kiwi” way which sees locks in split stance, coming up with the flanks on the “Crouch” call …
I personally prefer locks, flanks and 8 on both knees, coming up on the “Bind” call, after the props have got their outside feet back. Which is massively different.
I like the concept of locks bringing their elbows forward to get into “Drive” though
