Comment by matt July 15, 2010 @ 8:56 pmYour 10 steps are commenable guidelines for any coach, rugby or otherwise. I would add one more, especially for the benfit of younger players seeking to emulate their heroes;
STOP KICKING THE BALL INTO SPACE JUST TO GAIN TERRITORY, AND WITH THE DELIBERATE INTENT OF NOT FINDING TOUCH. The arial ping pong which has come to dominate so many kick fests of late is destroying the game as a spectator sport. Equally, as a tactical ploy it is simply ineffective.
