[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1083274, member: 56232"] That's sort of what I was getting at, national coaches should be there to build on the basics, not teach them. Basic technique for passing, catching, tackling, rucking etc should need little more than tweaking by national coaches with the focus being on national systems and roles of players unique to the national side. Skills that should be should be forming the baseline should barely need to be touched on by the top level coaches. As for everyone knowing what they are doing, captains are there to enforce and direct a system but they don't create it. It's for the national coaches to provide that instruction and define everyone's role within the larger gameplan. When coaching is poor, players who can have strong basics week in week out can struggle (England) but Wales is more a case of quite a few players where the basics aren't even there. That shouldn't be Pivacs responsibility to fix. Arguably Gatland was so successful with Wales because he had some of the strongest Welsh talent in generations and seemed to hammer the basics very very hard. This was enough to beat many NH teams at the time but not the SH. [/QUOTE]
