Non-specific KPIs
1. composure – leads to more good decisions
2. consistency – individually and teamwise
3. confidence – again individually and of the others in the team. Trust them.
I have long held the opinion that many/most kicks should be into the contestable area. I fail to see anything positive in booting kick-offs so far downfield that they are uncontestable. It’s free possession for the opposition with time to do what they want.
The key KPIs for a Wallabies clean sweep
PeterK, 50 years ago an ex girlfriend said almost exactly the same thing.
Wallabies defend dour victory
IMHO, one of Ewen’s main strengths is his ability to change game plans according to the opposition, which he did so well in 2011
McKenzie has the opportunity to take Macqueen's mantle
We must find ways to create more space for attacking rugby.
Easy, keep the fowards inside x metres of the “site of activity”. Don’t let them loitre in the centre, or wings.
Fans to vote on law variations for the National Rugby Championship
This is the worst the Reds have been since Eddie.
It beats me why two of the worst coaches in Aus were even considered, never mind employed/
Kiwi guns test Reds' Super Rugby defence
Ads “And to add to that he wasn’t correct. Hands in the face is a card. There was no gouging which meant no additional suspension”
Wrong, he was carded for gouging, not hands on the face!
James Horwill to face disciplinary action from SANZAR
I don’t see why he should be punished for expressing an opinion which turned out to be correct in the end, by SANZAR’s exhoneration of Ed O’D.
Totally justified comment.
James Horwill to face disciplinary action from SANZAR
I like the idea of in depth explanation(s) of the laws.
Maybe also some explanations (with examples) of the dark art of scrum play.
Another one could be tactics. Why a long kick off that can’t be contested Vs the short one which can, and the advatages/disadvantage of each.
How to make a rugby TV show interesting
Lack of tackling? You haven’t been watching closely enough!
Quade: I'll be back for the Rugby Championship
One wrong word there Fin – it should have been ON the eyes, not in, as you would have seen if you viewed any replays frame by frame.
Emotional Horwill shows rugby a new opportunity
Isn’t Horwill allowed to express his opinion then?
Agree, it was a farce that only O’D was looked at, and changed the end result.
The Reds may not have won if play had gone on, but they wouldn’t have been robbed..
Reds lock cleared of gouging
If you watch it as near frame by frame as you can get, you will see that there was no finger pressure on Higg’s eyes. Plus what about Higg’s hand on O’D’s face.
Pretty close to the eyes as far as I could see.
Reds eye Super Rugby wooden-spoon
Looking at the O’D/Higgs incident as near frame by frame as I could get, there was no finger pressure on Higgs eys, and probably no more than one finger on an eye lid.
Nothing has been said about Higg’s hand/fingers on O’D’s face.
I thought that Lucas did pretty well considering his lack of game time.
Can’t understand how the defence can go from what it was last year to the powder puff it is now.
Quade injured in Reds' loss to Rebels
Folau’s only two good plays are under a high ball, and running support lines near the try-line.
Quade injured in Reds' loss to Rebels
Daws, the quotes show that it was all about his ego!
Beale: Play me and Folau for the Wallabies
Hoy, agreed. We got hammered at the begining, and it taught us to play as a team, not as 15 individual players.
Should youth rugby be competitive or participation focussed?
T E C “I would only put Folau ahead of him in the Wallabies”
IMO, Falau’s only good under a high ball, and running support lines. That leaves a lot of gaps in his game.
Are we ready for the third coming of JOC?
” Just throw some sand into the wind”
Something more liquid than sand? 🙂
Are we ready for the third coming of JOC?
Harris kicked from behing the entire team, then didn’t (or couldn’t) follow up to put them onside. Hence no chase.
Cooper needs to attack the gain line for Reds to improve
Taps should be at 12 all the time. JOC outside him
Reds boss backs Graham as James O'Connor looms
IMO, a deliberate attempt at causing a game ending injury. Red card
McMeniman suspended for crucial clash
