Rugby timing

Rugby timing. It`s good to be in the right place at the right time. In rugby it`s not chance - it`s a matter of reading the game and timing.

Speed and accelleration in rugby

Having a high top speed is very handy...
...but not everthing.

Having blistering accelleration is great...
...but not everything.

BUT
...arrive just a fraction early...
...or just a fraction late...
...and it may mean some good play is ruined.

Rugby is a game of inches (or centimetres!)

So...
...timing is everything.

When you start running, when you stop.
How long running in a given direction...
...and how fast you run...
...to arrive just when required...
...to make a tackle...receive a pass...collect a kick...
...needs practice with energy and accuracy so...

You have split second timing (our brains are fantastic!!)

You make good tackles...by very small margins

You also evade tackles...by very small margins

You make good passes...by very small margins.

You make good catches...by very small margins.

Then you score tries...yes!...that`s right!....often by vey small margins
