| Hi. I am in the process of putting together my application for the RFU level 3 Coaching Award. As part of the award your are required to analyse the technical, tactical, mental and physical attributes of each position. While I can come up with a number of these for the wing positions I can think of few differences between the left and right wingers. Are there any significant differences as if there are this will be valuable learning for me on the road to my level 3. Many thanks for any help, Tom

you need to think about what their roles are when faced with likely game scenarios.
which of the two wingers arguably needs the most pace - why might that be? [hint: which was do most players in a backline pass easiest? Which side is the most likely to benefit from a wide attack?]
which of the two wingers needs to have the strongest tackle, especially against forwards? [hint: what might happen at an oppo attacking scrummage 15m out from THEIR right hand touchline?]
You will be expected to understand the DEPTH of information/knowledge/tactics, not the BREADTH.

| Read the posting with interest, and the link to the positional attributes. Would there really be a difference? Depending on the game situation either winger could be the open or blind side winger... on the basis that the wingers always remain in either the right hand or left hand position, whilst the rest of the back line re-aligns... would welcome your thoughts. The positional attributes will be a very helpful document... many thanks Jason

Tom. Interesting issue here. To my mind what's more important is you place the correct type of player on the more appropriate wing even allowing for the 15 man or 22 man mantra of total rugby. Variables to consider include the following- the faster (leaner physically) player of the two to the left wing, as players generally are right-hand dominant when passing so the speedster would get far quicker ball and space, and the slower (more powerful physically) would be more effective when breaking the defensive line as a right winger having less time and space in which to work. Secondly, and I believe to be of more importance because I like my wingers to have a good outside break, and all support players from inside or outside or rear supporting positions are keen to recognise that with their wingers and can adjust their running lines in support accordingly; this means a right-foot dominant winger is more likely to break through or past as a left winger and, conversely, a left-foot dominant winger will probably make an outside break more easily from the right wing position. Good luck. kge
