As also mentioned above the Predator machine will be fairly similar to the Rhino I would have thought.

I don't think that the non scrummaging end was ever very widely used, but it was to practise mauls etc against a resistance. Predator rugby used to have a video/dvd of a scrummage session with Nigel Horton , and Predator used to make the Rhino scrummage machines so there might be something there that's similar. Sat, 11 Oct 2008 10:34:46 GMTGerrymchttp://www.betterrugbycoaching.com/rugbyforum/Topic1333-4-1.aspxI'm an assistant coach for a men's club in the USA. We've got a Rhino scrum machine that I believe is grossly underused. Trouble is, no one knows how to make use of all (any?) of its features. I understand we've had it for about 8 or 10 years, but most of the pads are still in the original wrapper. Does anyone know how to make use of this machine? <br><br>It's a roller (two "in front", one swiveling in the back) with pads attached to "pistons" on the front and elastic bands for both horizontal and vertical control. We scrum down against that side in ones, threes, fives, and eights.<br><br>But the other end of the machine has elements that reportedly help mauling and lineouts. We've never used that at all and have no idea how to. <br><br>Any tips?<br><br>Thanks,<br>JDFri, 10 Oct 2008 19:53:57 GMTJDink
