Rugby is a simple game

[Russ]

According to Joe the ABs win because of their SiD

When one player goes off the player replacing him is as good or better.

Similarly the ABs seldom fall foul to team weakening due to injury .

Not to many teams could be in to their 3rd or 4th choice of player at out half in a World Cup final and still win .

Because they can all do the basics!

Maybe and maybe not I would put it down to a common ethos at schools level long long before any start playing Professional Club Rugby.

Do you think it is by accident that many of those who play for Ireland are sons of rugby players, some good some not so good , the evidence points to the fact the earlier you start playing the better because you learn the basics early in life how catch ,how to hold the ball and how to pass when to kick etc.

My complaint about mini rugby I see at Kingspan is that you see boys running with the ball but what you seldom see is a good passing move across the field the exploitation of space by use of a kick .

There seems to be the idea that the more players on the pitch the better i believe the opposite to be true seven aside in a smaller area would lead to better passing and use of space.

There is no kicking in mini-rugby rum (except for the oldest age-group when clearing kicks are allowed within the "defence zone" which is within 10m of your own goal-line)

British Bulldog was the only pre gramnar school preperation for rugby I had.

Thon sorted out the men from the under 10s

Still awaiting rum's response in which he states that the referees/coaches are misinterpreting the laws of mini-rugby and that kicking is permitted.

I see you still haven't made it to gramnar (sic) school.

Unfortunately selective education can't cure stubby fingers.

This will be fun ...

Average sized fight

I did realise that kicking the ball is not permitted in mini rugby whether it is a good idea or not personally i don't think it is .
All I see in mini rugby doing is getting a bunch of wee lads on a pitch who take it turns to run with ball until by sheer weight of numbers the player with ball is brought to ground .

I see very few skills being developed

Its fun for the kids but the fact is most of the good players learn little from playing mini rugby in the 10 years it has featured at Ravenhill I wonder how many have developed into decent rugby players .

Well Rum I have coached mini rugby and schools rugby for many years and can inform you that you are talking complete and unadulterated scour.

ps I can't wait to hear Once a Knight's views on this...........

I agree with snipe. When my boy went through minis many years ago there was plenty of skills coaching and the difference between when he started and when he progressed to schools rugby in terms of basic skills and discipline was like night and day.
