Simply The Best - By: Mr. B. Mangan, 28 Apr 2008 
The comment on the cover from NZ head of coaching says it all. 'This is my bible'. And it is so easy to understand & use. I don't just follow training plans, I understand the game because of this book. Apart from technical things like SAQ books, there is no pointin having other coaching books once you have this one.
Unlikely to be Bettered - By: W. J. Grist, 18 Jan 2005 This is the best book on coaching I have ever come across. I coach young children but so much of the book applies to 9-year-olds as much as it does to adults. It is my bible, & I return to it again & again. Apart from Jim Greenwood's brilliantly analytical approach it is a deeply inspiring book. Greenwood believes that you must aim high, & then shows you how it can be done.
Passion with sense - By: Tortenwurfmaschine, 02 Jan 2005 If you play or coach rugby with passion, then this book will keep your spirit for the sport alive - while giving you the opportunity to step-back from your game with a true strategist. The book is written very calmly & simply, taking you step by step through the techniques used for the different positions, while emphasising every player's contribution, while still keeping an eye on the overall patterns of play. I bought & read this book as a player & am now using it as a coach. Recommended to both.
Total Rugby: A different perspective - By: , 20 Jul 2002 After reading this book for the first time, it revolutionized my ethos on coaching rugby. This book extolls the virtues of every player contributing to defence, attack & support play. In the season that I have coachedin this new way, my forwards have become faster & more skillful & my backs have become stronger & better tacklers. This has unified the team, there are no-longer forwards & backs, they are all rugby players.
The best in its field - by far - By: , 13 Jun 2000 For anyone involvedin coaching Rugby I would unhesitatingly declare this to be an ESSENTIAL companion. Its literally packed with useful info, tips, suggestions & technical data. I've found it stimulating & eye opening. It really is a book that supplies endless encouragement & insight. Indispensible.
