Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3319912, member: 2290"] I do wonder about the Seibold method to training and how bad the rule change screwed the teams plans. Seibold would brag about how they analysed the game and the average duration the ball would stay in play was something like 5 minutes. So Seibold ran training to be in intense 5 minute blocks. Making them perfectly adapted to play at a high intensity for 5 minutes then recover during the stoppages and repeat. Except 1 year after this training regime was implemented the rules all changed. 6 agains were brought in, scrums were replaced with play the balls in many cases. The whole structure of the game radically changed and all of a sudden the 5 minute specialists were completely unfit for the new pacing of the game. It’s like if boxing told you a week before a bout that instead of 12 3 minute rounds they were now doing 8 6 minute rounds. [/QUOTE]
