106 words

Tim Robbins

Fabio Capello stated he needed only 100 words to talk to players. Dan Cottrell set out to make a similar list and got to 106. Has he left anything out?

If anything this is a very good A - Z of Rugby...

Front foot.

kensutz

Hindmost foot - something we tell players in a ruck to stay behind.

My junior backs coach would show us what he meant by penetration......it was very helpful.

Can't believe he missed offload...

Good spot.

mikedragon32

Commitment.

No point in doing anything on the pitch without it.

The lad who tries to rip the ball.

I've never heard that one before. I reckon it should be called a rackle - y'know a rip-tackle.

:-)

Jackle is the verb. Jackler is the noun.

hardCopy

Our junior cup coach in school got by for three years with two words.

"Body Position"

Quite important but I think he emphasised it because he hadn't much else to say.

Although one day I played full back and got special positional advice before the match of "just kick it to touch"

irishbucsfan

Always thought it was jackal myself. That's interesting.

No?

Geniuinely did always think it was jackal! As in the scavenger animal (i.e. back row scavenging for possession). Always thought that was why it was called that. Never even knew the word jackle existed. (Can't find any evidence of the word jackle online either )

Alright. The spelling was not something I was thinking about and I thought you were extracting.
