Thanks for your feedback Scott. So in that situation you could restart from where the ball goes out of play. If you have the numbers reward the attacking team with a line out. Just increase their phases to 4 or 5 for a gain line advantage. If they don’t get a gain line advantage you can go back to the 22 or go back to the line out and let them try again. If they have an error go back to the 22. Replicates similar consequences to what might happen in a game. Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Our pleasure!

Thank you

Thanks for the feedback Michael. The season has been pretty busy so not had chance to record much more content. Is there any areas you would like more coaching videos?

Thank you! It was a great chat with Rusty. Lots of learning in this episode for coaches at all levels.

Hi Jam. We’ve never used Audea but you can access an audio format of the podcast on all podcast platforms. Link below linktr.ee/TheBigBreakdownHQ

Not the first time that’s been said about Kris!!

Thanks Rik. A lot more videos planned for later in the year. Just struggled for time to do it this last season. If there are any videos you think might be worthwhile let us know!

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ Will do! One question tough about the last chaos exercise in the session . The positioning of the cones is not very clear to me.. 😅

@@Kamarenge Is this is the connect4 game? Basically just create a small grid (4 grids wide x 4 across) and make it as big as you want depending on the players you're coaching. Its probably a bit too big in the video to be honest. start small and increase the size.

Thanks Matt. Please you enjoyed it. Hopefully have a lot of content being recored this pre season. I have just struggled for time this season post COVID. If there are any videos you think would be useful let me know.

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ would love to see more drills! specifically on making quicker decisions and playing a faster game

Thanks @@matts9474 We have a few of these lined up for recording when we start pre season. Look out for the posts then!

Yes that is a good point. I hadn't thought about! Thank you!

It can take around 6-12 hours to upload to the server, but around 24 hours for the AI to analyse the game and create the clips.

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ thanks. Great videos. Please keep them coming

Thanks for the feedback. Pleased you enjoyed the video

Hi James! This is something we will look at. We will do some research and see if we can get hold of one to do a review. Leave it with us!

Thanks for the feedback Toby! Pleased you enjoyed the review. If you can think of other products we could review for rugby let us know 👇

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ Thanks what about the V2 of this camera? Also, I am personally a soloist like many other clubs filming games and live streaming. So cameras like this offer a big interest to see how this is going to go. Does V2 offer better zooming in across the field? This would be a clincher for a lot of rugby clubs. I am total against continuous subscriptions when you own the gear outright, there should at least be a level of free. Love how the software breaks down the games into lineouts, scrums, restarting etc, that to me is an awesome feature.

@@tobytr Hi Toby! We have not had access to the V2 camera to give it a review. It would be great to compare the 2, and see the difference. From what we understand, the live stream on the V2 is not available for rugby yet...? I think the subscription is the same, and agree a free option should also be available!

Hi John, pleased you enjoyed the video. Where are you based? You could make it work with these numbers, and just make the pitch smaller. I also have another game which I’m going to post (just needs recording!) Which might help also. Essentially an attacking team gets 2 phases, and on the second phase you have to kick or score. Reward good territory kicks (where the team kicking gains an advantage and the ball goes out of play) by allowing the team who kicked to keep the ball. 3min blocks of this is a killer but demonstrates the importance of territorial kicking even with small numbers. Any questions please feel free to drop me a message on any of our social media channels @bigbreakdownhq

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ that sounds good. I'm based just outside Auckland, NZ

Thanks for the feedback Gareth. Lots more videos to come….. just trying to keep on top of the editing during a hectic season! If there is any area of coaching you want some advice let us know. We might be able to put a video together. Thank you!

He has just taken over as Director of Rugby at World Rugby. Great opportunity for Phil and we wish him all the best in the new role.

Thanks Peter! Pleased you are enjoying the podcast and channel. Hope the boots you won in our competition are still going strong 💪

Thanks for the feedback Aidan! Pleased you enjoyed the video. Hopefully have more content available soon. If you can think of any videos you might find useful let us know! We are always looking for ideas.

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ meaningful match orientated coaching/trainings with minimal numbers. Say 17-20 players.

I just got accepted

Congratulations James!

Hi Michael, yes of course! Always keen to chat about rugby and coaching. Drop me an email [email protected] and we can get something arranged.

Gracias Ignacio!

Yes! Will Cargill studied at Leeds Beckett University (then Leeds Metropolitan University) and played for Colin while he was studying, and represented England Students.

Cracking good fly half.. He coached my son a bit when playing in the Mini'Juniors at Pirates. He's got a coaching role at Sandbach??? My lad is hoping to study Sports Development at Beckett starting in September....

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ I think we're currently blessed with one "Sam Rodman" from you guys? ...

@@eugenemorice8545 Thats brilliant he is looking at going to Leeds Beckett. Has he got a place already and is he looking to play?

@eugenemorice8545 Yes. Sam Rodman is a former student at LBU. He also represented England Students as well.

Thanks Kerry! Pleased you enjoyed it. What I forgot to mention in the video is the first 2 exercises allows us to get into some detailed technical coaching around the lift and jump. Then move into some chaos to put them skills under pressure. Most importantly it’s fun and engaging for the players as well.

Congratulations Sean! We’ve messaged you on Instagram!

Enjoy the boots Tom! Congratulations

Congratulations Peter! Please get in touch on one of our social media channels with your details so we can pass them onto Canterbury.

Thanks Will! New episode is realised tomorrow.

Thats great feedback! Thanks Sean we appreciate it. We have some exciting plans, and we are currently planning season 2. Episode 6 of the podcast is realised on Wednesday. Thank you again for giving us some feedback. It is great to hear you are benefiting from the discussions.

Thanks Kerry! Pleased you liked it. We have more videos coming in preparation for rugby restarting! Keep an eye out for the next one soon.

Hi Sean! Thank you! It is always windy up there!! It was also before i got the right gear, so the audio on the new videos are a lot better. I hope you are well?! It's been a while! If you think of any videos which might help you and your coaching let me know. Now restrictions are coming to an end I want to get out and do more videos to help coaches and players at all levels. Thanks for commenting. Kris

Thanks for listening Pete! Hope you are finding it useful. The competition will be drawn in Episode 7 of the pod due out on 14th April. Make sure you listen to Episode 5 of the podcast due out on Wednesday. We have another top guest on and its very informative.

Thanks Nick. Competition will be drawn in episode 7 which is due for realise on Wednesday 14th April. Look out for Episode 5 of the podcast which is due out this Wednesday. It's a good one and we have another great guest. Thanks for listening.

Thank you! We will be releasing episodes every fortnight now so look out for them! We have some more exciting guests coming up later in the season.

Thank you for the reply Jonny. We completely agree, it's a balance that coaches at multiple levels are constantly looking to get. We believe that is important that coaches share their stories of this balancing act, as it will allow others to learn and potentially offer strong insights. We look to explore this in much greater depth throughout the upcoming season and hopefully beyond with a number of guests sharing their own experiences in their environments.

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ Sounds good. I am focused on forwards within my club so am making a point of messaging people directly, across all levels, and asking them directly (I tend to think being direct gets the quickest response). That one to one contact feels more personal to me. We all know that within clubs, whether we like to believe it or not, each team tends to think that there are cliques amongst the other teams or groups within the club so hopefully, by communicating with everyone directly, some of those barriers can be broken down. I have played for teams, where the head coach has done an amazing job for the first team, getting them promotion, but the club as a whole has gone from 3 teams down to 2 because of fringe players or those of lower ability become disillusioned. I guess, one of the questions to ask as a coach is what is your role? Am I a first team coach or am I a club coach?

Thanks for the feedback Jonny and engaging with the post! We will be looking in detail about the "how" in Episode 4, 5 and 6 so watch out for them coming soon. We also have a number of videos in the pipeline to support coaches with game design and differentiation. We are just waiting for restrictions to be lived so we can get out on the training pitch. Episode 2 will be available form 9AM tomorrow! Thanks again for the feedback.

@@TheBigBreakdownHQ Brilliant. Well have subscribed and set it to get all notifications so I'll look forward to the next instalment!
