This book is great from young ages (15+) up to seniors. It provides a comprehensive overview of the lineout process and thinking, tactical and strategic considerations and down to earth advice. One particularly pleasing feature is the number of options for set up it provides for certain positions on the filed. Another great publication from Dan and the Team

Having read ‘The Lineout and How to win it’ – I can say that the format, content and description of each lineout situation and set up was very helpful.

It is always good to look at the lineout with another set of eyes, especially when you are stuck in your ways like I am.

More importantly, the boys were able to pick up the concepts and welcome the changes with regards to variation, movements and options. We were able to implement the new movement series without difficulty and almost seamless.

I forwarded the document to the lineout captains and they had a grasp of what we were doing before the session so they were able to ‘peer teach’ and take responsibility.

Overall, our lineout numbers were high and our attacking options also increased. A very worthwhile resource.

As we all know winning the lineout, is one of the major factors to winning the match.

Dan has produced a quality manual to make this possible.

He commences by breaking down this complex facet of play with the basics, the drills, the illustrations, the law interpretations and how and where to use the many different tactics: these are made clear to comprehend from beginners to the elite of the game.

It is my opinion that this is one of his best pieces of work – Highly recommended.

I have been fortunate to coach a very talented group of boys during the past 3 years. My school side played 58 matches during these 3 years and won 57 of them, against the best schools in South Africa.

We played in 6 provincial finals during the past 3 years and we have won every one of them convincingly – As a coach you rarely experience years like these.

I have been a great supporter of your Rugby Coach Weekly website and coaching material for some time now. I can assure you that the well structured manuals played a major part in giving me the confidence to coach at these various levels and working with players of international repertoire.

The Lineout and How to Win it is not only well structured but can be used by coaches at all levels. I have gained a lot not only in using the information but also applying the basic principles and sensible approach used in the manual.

I would like to congratulate you on a terrific coaching source and I am sure that a lot of coaches will make use of it in future.

I have found the Manual to be extremely helpful.

Not only has it given us creative lineouts that are simple to use, but it lets you know where to use them and what you can do from the platform it provides you.

On top of this it provides you with the exercises to improve your skills to execute the lineout you want to use, it is the complete lineout training manual!

We are winning more of our own ball as well as the oppositions and are starting to dominate the competition.
