Well done to Ulster Rugby for producing this series of videos on pre-season training. Hopefully they will continue to keep the fans informed throughout the close season.
However having watched the videos (below) I can’t help but think that, old man as I am, I reckon I could take Andy Trimble in the ring! No jab at all and he’s swinging from too far back and not getting his body weight behind the punch! If we’re going to punch above our weight this season we’re going to need better technique than this.
Move it up a step and get Barry McGuigan in for the contact training. The Clones Cyclone could teach the boys how to get six body punches in between first contact in the tackle and hitting the ground, couple of wee jabs to the face as you’re getting back on your feet and the ball would soon be popping out.
Go to Ulster Rugby TV to watch the videos.
Hopefully the rest of the team will have improved their technique before Ferris starts training again or we’re not going to have much of a team left once the big man starts swinging!
