Hi Everyone :),.Feel free to show your support and buy me a haircut >>>> buymeacoffee.com/couchrugby
Thanks for the video I’m completely new to Rugby and just had my first game as lock. Still trying to learn the positioning
Brilliant! my advice is to concentrate on learning when to engage a ruck and when not too, and when to present yourself as a possible ball carrier to the 9 and 10 during attacking play. On defense try not to wonder too far from the ruck until you have gotten more comfortable with your open play positioning.
if you want to aslo improve your positioning find a touch rugby team to play for. Playing touch rugby will fast track your mind to understand where to be when.
I played my first season of Rugby ever this year and was a #5 lock after the season ended i still dont really know how to play the position or Rugby in general its a confusing sport like no other@@couchrugby
@@dimgelsinger2448 I played lock from age 15 to 47, great position once you get the hang of it. If you have an experienced lock partner at 4, make sure you talk to them during the game aabout anything you're uncertain about (positioning, binding in scrums, calls etc). You two should neve be that far from each other at any point of the game anyway, so keep chatting (and learning).
You should be able to feel pressure from the side from the flanker, so communicate to them if you feel a bt loose, a scrum should compress before the drive, there should be no (or as small as possible) gaps betwen the bodies. Same with Eightman/No.8, they should be letting you know if you need to postion yourself slight differently, so they can access and tighten the scrum from the back...
Lineouts, talk to your hooker pre-game about what their throw is like, do they have or want a trigger to throw in, the call determiens where the ball is goig in teh linout, the trigger (a visual signal usualy) determies when. Make sure you do a few run throughs before kickoff so you know what is going to happen in the game...
Don't be afraid to ask for specific coacching also if your club has the resources, coaches like imparting knowledge and players who want to learn/improve...
Most of all, don't miss training. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. And aslo it reduces injuries by preparing your body for the inevitable contact...
And of course enjoy it, and the craic in the clubhouse bar afterwards (yours and the oppo's)....
My South African son is playing at a private school on the Gold Coast. He was a winger until this season where they want him as their lock. Very helpful video as he trials for their equivalent of “Craven Week” this week. 💪🏼
Awesome stuff!!
Awesome videos!
My dad was a prop, im probably gonna be a lock, im nkt nearly as big as him, but i definitely got his strength genetics, so this was interesting to watch just to see what they actually do
VicMat was the best tactical lock of all time. He changed the way a lineout is read in the modern era. Obscene talent.
Yes! he was a special player.
John Eales?
@@robertcottam8824No
Would you agree that Esebeth play both roles of enforser and leader
I most definitely would agree. I don't think there is a lock in world rugby on his level atm.
Did you play Lock?
Yep, I come from a family of locks and loose forwards. So any number from 4 to 8. I always felt I was a 10 stuck in a locks body but my coaches never seemed to agree.
How about you explain the rugby rules so when I sit on my couch looking at a game can understand hou the referees applying the rules specialy the scrun and tackle rules. As well as the offside line
Yes these are all topics I plan on covering in future videos. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Scrums are now a lottery
I'm about to play lock and i'm scared to miss up
Actually the number 4 (when being a specialist like eben, bakkies, retallick, etc) plays on the right side of the scrum.
Open side Lock
@@harweramoke6341 what?
Perhaps viewing bias, but seems RSA have had years of recognizable, imposing locks
Y
You are doing a great job .Looking forward to more videos
Except if you are Bakkies or Eben then yes you steal a lot of lime light hahah
