Thanks Cobus, I am a LHP having to learn THP for my club because of a lack of THPs & I occasionally find myself in silly positions when up against good players.

Your article was really useful because I was certainly committing sins 1 & 3 quite often without knowing any better.

If you'd be kind enough to give us your thoughts on foot position too at some point, I'd be very grateful. I sometimes find my right leg almost crossing with my left & maybe need a wider stance.

Even as an Englishman, it was always a pleasure to watch you play.

Yours in Rugby,

Back Injury Compensation — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:30:18 -0000

Players are always very dedicating towards games.They even do not realise what harm them due to this that time they just focus on game only due to this some this they may face injury which is really very difficult for them to play further.

Re: Wrist Injuries

A fractured or broken wrist means there is a break or a crack in one or more of the bones of the wrist. If you have been injured due to negligence if another person , you can make a compensation claim for your injuries and other losses.

Re: England put away Scotland……Just!

Georgie Cooper — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 04:09:09 -0000

I agree Haydn. Scotland were unlucky not to go through however I think they have paid for a lack of any consistent threat through scoring tries. If they get that right they will rise back up the rankings and be threat to any team.

I would be wary of France. In the last World Cup France were pretty rubbish and the All Blacks sublime. However it was France who pulled out a great game, their only one of the tournament to proceed to the semi final.

I would also add that I am sick of our press digging for "controversy" when there blatantly isn't any.
The latest article on the BBC website says:
Rugby World Cup 2011: Tuilagi fined for wearing sponsored gumshield

This headline tries insintuates that he has been paid to wear a branded gumshield and that he has deliberalty broken the rules. They continue this line of thought for the first paragraph. However read a little further and you discover that actually it was his U18 England gum shield and he has just been wearing that one since then. No mailice or fore thought given.

I think our journalists should be fined for making mountains out of mole hills and basically being d*cks on a continual basis.

Wales Ireland is going to be a cracking match. Anyone got a prediction? Come on Cozza call your semi final berths!

magnesium oil — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 05:58:49 -0000

Magnesium oil will be very beneficial for people who are in frail care centers and at the stage of their lives when they are nearer to end of life. Many people of this age have all sorts aches and pains. Care givers can use magnesium oil to massage their hands, back and feet. People at this stage of their lives should be able to see their last days out with peace and dignity. It should be important that these people are able to live as comfortably as possible. Furthermore, these people also need to have help in the way of care givers to aid them with their aches and pains.

Re: Hooker’s Role- Attack

Jay — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:40:03 -0000

You're right. Like many seem to agree, hookers must be the fourth loosie on the field and all of its implications. However, I feel like many overlook the fact that they are still members of the tight five and the front row and must play as such. Hookers must still carry over the mentality and game play that was seen in hookers of the past, players who can hold their own with the big boys. Their unique position in the modern game of rugby calls for them to not only be a loosie, able to be mobile and available in back play as a supporting player but also as a tight five, able to tackle and ruck with even behemoth props and locks. As you said, "a mobile hooker running freely is utterly demoralizing for any opposition" but a mobile hooker running freely who can also play like a prop only spells disaster and migraines for any opposition.

Re: Pre-Season Tackle Bag Work (Part 3)

Lanzaroterugby — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 08:41:14 -0000

Good drill, but I'm confused at colours of cones / positions. In distance order you have: tackle bag, yellow @ 5m, red @10m , blue @ 15m, but with players starting at yellow, then going to blue, setting ball, & continuing to tackle bag. Should player not start at blue, setting at yellow, then making tackle, with 2nd player leaving tackle bag, picking up ball at yellow etc ??
Yours etc.
