11 years ago today Gary Speed took his own life. Bryn Laws was his best friend and this Sky Sports interview is absolutely heartbreaking. Don’t forget to check in on your friends and family ❤️👇

@LineoutNause @andrewfrugby @EnglandRugby Secondly, when the money troubles happened at Warriors and the RFU refused to help. Money from the Duckworth family was used to pay for staff so they could keep on coaching the players.

@TalksRugby They don’t need to import players because of their pathways system and having lots of professional clubs. Scotland for example simply don’t have the player base to begin with. Hence they look elsewhere.

Sir Alex Ferguson 👇 🗣”My mum went into hospital, flowers in the hospital room. I said ‘Mum, who got you the flowers’ she said ‘ The flowers came from Fergie’ I never even told him she was in hospital. He was finger on the pulse of all these details.”

Dr Ed Coughlan on coaching👇 🗣"There’s absolutely no one size fits all. We still peddle this idea of a mass coaching approach. Selling systems to people. Expecting this linear relationship of doing one thing and expecting a definitive outcome"

Wayne Smith on the role of the coach? 👇 🗣 "I've never been a fan of this cult of the coach. Our job is to take the complex and make it simple. We’re a side show in many ways just working really hard to try and help the players.”

@RugbyPhilBB Simeli Daunivucu played 10 games of rugby for La Rochelle in the 23/24 season at 18. Seems many are getting a fair amount of top 14 experience. Fair few signed for Stade, la Rochelle, pau etc from prod clubs. Going to pull the data and share 👍

@AreteMindset Skill not an issue IMHO…. Watched lots of those young welsh lads play they’ve got skill. Coaches are handbrakes at times…. Is the training environment working? Judging on performance and results I’d say it’s not.

I have decided to set up an account on BlueSky. Will be moving more content over there. Go give me a follow if you’re also on it. Loved the support I’ve had and continue to get on X. I miss the old twitter 💙

Brian Ashton's Philosophy👇 🗣"As a coach your coaching people that just happen to have a talent for playing rugby. Fundamentally your coaching people. You’ve got to take care of the technical & physical side. And the emotional & mental state of players.”

Ball players/carriers not even challenging defenders and questioning them is baffling. Wales need to change the point of attack. The 10 isn’t the only option, should have used there 9 more. No creativity from set piece!
