THE DEFINITIVE RUGBY COACHING MANUAL.
"TEMPO"
In the recent fixture between Harlequins and Wasps at Twickenham and analyzed by Bob in our Dwyer’s View feature, Mark Evans, the Harlequins Chief Executive, was interviewed at half time and was asked the question, “ If you were in the Harlequins dressing room what would you be asking the players to do in the second half”?
His response was, “Increase our tempo”.
This is a frequently asked question and always answered in the same way, BUT without “HOW” we are going to increase OR decrease the tempo
