I really like the angle, and the explanation is really helpful, thank you!

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

You're very welcome, glad it's of use! I love seeing a game from the end of angle. Completely changes the perspective of what we see!

@@GeraintDaviesGDDHi, what app do you use and how did you get this angle?

[@JosephFallon]

That's a brilliant angle. VERY informative. Nice one !!

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

I love the End on View, really helps to see the big picture! Glad you found it useful!

[@Debrenliev]

Great job again! Good angle and very good explanation.

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

Thank you so much, Kostadin! Really glad you like it and thanks for taking the time to comment 👍🏻

[@Debrenliev]

Love your job and every time you post something I watch it almost immediately! Can I challenge you? Try to make same type of analysis on the game plans of all Super rugby teams from this year. Or the game plan of the top premiership sides. It would be fun

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

That’s great to hear & I really appreciate your support. I love a challenge! I think that would be really interesting and would be fun to make too! I’ll see what I can do 🙏

[@aussietaffia9152]

Great work mate.. very interesting

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for commenting 👍🏻

[@fredhealy3416]

Conway has always been an excellent defender. Not something you can say about many wingers (cough, Teddy Thomas, cough)

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

Yeah I’m a big fan of Conway, will be interesting how he fares when it forms to lions selection! Teddy is good at many things, but stopping attackers maybe isn’t the highlight!

[@Walkerdinho]

My natural position is 15 and we regularly played with a pendulum back 3 but Since the 50/22 has been introduced to the game i switched to 10 in the 13-2 system & our defense has been solid… 50/22 is lethal if caught out of position , loved the law change as it adds another factor

[@jhutchins08]

Great vid. What changes (if any) would you make to your defensive setup to cope with the 50-22 rule in-place in Australia at the moment?

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

Thanks, Jamie 👍🏻 we’re seeing pretty much the same approach! Loads of pressure in the front line to make the kickers life difficult, backfield players keeping fairly deep & less likely to push up to ruck. What have you noticed so far?

[@jhutchins08]

@@GeraintDaviesGDD The main thing I've noticed is how hard it is to achieve the 50-22 as a kicker. Even Reece Hodge can't do it. As a result, defences don't seem to be doing too much to shut it down. I suspect it might become more of a feature once players have had more time to practice it. Combined with a rolling maul, it could be a defence killer.

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

@@jhutchins08 Yeah I agree that a driving maul would really help. I'm sure teams will conjure up some cool tactics (mainly kicking against the grain of where you're playing to try & draw the winger across), but as you say it's the skill of kicking that accurately that most players haven't explored! O'Gara would've been in his element!

[@cmattina100]

Hey mate wondering how you got this view?

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

I'm fortunate to get sent multi-angle views of games!

[@cmattina100]

Is there any way to find these or gain access? Would love to see some more footage

[@GeraintDaviesGDD]

It’s one of the hardest things to unfortunately. I share extra footage on my Patreon but otherwise I’m not sure how you’d get hold of it I’m sorry

Very informative for me as I’m new to rugby coaching @belmontshoresyouthrugby Also can you use this system as our youth play 12 a side
