Hi,
I'm not a coach, but an enthusiastic rugby fanatic nontheless. I really want to understand back play better, by this I mean back line formations/set-ups and building set plays off them and understanding how to build these to target various aspects of the oppositions defence. I've attempted to gather lots of information online, and have picked up a lot, but not enough to piece together to learn what I want. I read a very brief article by Eddie Jones about this, but as I say, it was very brief. Could someone explain this to me? Or point me in the direction of where I might be able to find what I'm looking for?

Hi,
There are many learned coaches on here who will, I've no doubt, provide with with very valuable advice. I could possibly burble on a little bit myself but to be honest I don't know how much benefit it would be. I have, instead, two bits of advice.
i) Start yourself on the coaching ladder. Level One will give you a general introduction and will help your understanding of coaching in general and rugby in particular. It would also mean you could confidently assist coaching at a club or school.
ii) There are lots of books about that can help, but there is one seminal book that will open your eyes to what rugby is and what it can be - buy the latest edition of "Total Rugby" by Jim Greenwood (Blacks) and take it from there.
Best of luck in your adventure.
Pat

Dont be over enthusiastic and start with dummy switches, pops, loops and fancy moves....K I S S.....start with lots of passing drills..concentrating on body positions.. ie. feet, hips, hands & communication, put the ball thro' the hands learning to pass across a flat line & deep line...long & short passes...change of direction.. ie. step into the pass and out of the pass, ins & outs (unders/overs) then bring in a simple miss pass and a switch into the drills..
