Damian McGrath and Ray Unsworth are two of the country’s leading coaches. Both have coached at the highest level with Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors respectively. Currently Ray is Director of coaching for the England Rugby League whilst Damian is now defensive coach for England “A".
Since March 2002 Damian has coached the England 7’s and is internationally recognised as a leading light in coaching skills and techniques for both codes
Damian and Ray are co-authors of "101 Rugby Training Drills" one of the most successful coaching manuals of it’s type and a long time best seller.
The 15 drills presented here all come from the third edition
“All coaches should attempt to use or design drills which are as close to a game situation as possible. The more relevant the activity the easier the player will find it to transfer the learning to the game. It goes without saying that training sessions should be varied to maintain interest. With a little thought and pre-planning it should be possible for the coach to improve the fitness levels and practice skills through the imaginative use of drills."
Damian McGrath
"This book ("101 Rugby Training Drills - 3rd Edition”) contains drills which have been collated over several years as well as many which we have devised or adapted ourselves. The drills for the most part can be used with all ages, simply by extending or contracting the distances shown. However, one should always bear in mind the experience of the players the level at which they are playing and the relevance of the drill to their particular needs.
All of the drills are as relevant to Rugby League as Rugby Union." Ray Unsworth and Damian McGrath
