My new article for Total Rugby Analysis takes a brief look at Glasgow Warriors, who have made a strong start to the new United Rugby Championship season. I've looked at some of their tactics and picked out a few key players in their squad.

This is #class. Sam Whitelock was a lock for the #AllBlacks in the 2023 Rugby World Cup final, where the All Blacks lost to the Springboks by a single point: 12 - 11. He acknowledged the pain of losing but also took time to acknowledge the winning Springboks: "It does take time to process. It's something that will stick with our team - the one that got away. It doesn't take anything away from South Africa. They played exceptional rugby... they were playing winning rugby, and they got the job done. It's history now, we can't change it, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, but it is what it is." More importantly, he shared his encouraging views on the Sam Cane red card, which dropped the All Blacks to 14 men at the 29th minute mark: "Sam [Cane] didn't play the way he wanted to. You get around him. It's the human part of it. You take away the rugby, and you just worry about your mates. Some people need space, some people need support being close, some people you don't say anything. So it's working out what that person needs and do it. The team were awesome. Everyone stuck together. There was no blaming of people or anything like that. That is probably one of the proudest things about that time - we all stayed together; we didn't split and become divided." ----- This is what a team should look like. There will be wins and losses. But you stick together. You rally around someone when he hurts. You don't blame. You encourage and support. You be gracious to the winner. This is my work and life philosophy too. #Litigation is a team sport. #Life is a team sport. We must have #class. #rugbyforever #sundaymusings

Today I have no idea if I love rugby league or I hate rugby league!! A 22 - 22 draw in Jack Owens Testimonial match against Whitehaven provided a reminder (not that one was needed) that there is still plenty of work to be done before we become the side we want to be. Of course nobody was getting carried away after last weeks win, and we learned a whole lot more about ourselves yesterday, where we came up against what I thought was a good 'Haven side. It was a step up and our next, and final pre season game against Warrington is obviously another step up again. Pre season is all about learning, about what is working and what is not working and assessing where players are in the squad pecking order. In addition, they are called pre season matches for those reasons, with the aim being to be as ready as you can once your team gets to playing "competitive" matches. For the Vikings this year, these matches are all part of a steep learning curve, as following extensive changes made at the club, to coaching and playing personnel, there has to be a period of transition. No amount of work on the training pitch can replicate what happens in matches and therein lies the importance of pre season matches. Win, lose or draw, they are all about so much more than the result, and what's more we will get it right..... #coyv #rugbyleague #newbeginning #evenmoredetermined

My new article for Total Rugby Analysis looks at Super Rugby Pacific's defending champions Crusaders, who won in midweek but who had lost all five of their matches before that to leave them bottom of the table. I've looked at where they have been going wrong and why they can still climb the table as the campaign goes on.
