An excellent teaching on Rugby Punt. Coach Holmes gives you a step by step detailed teaching on not only the scheme but also how to train a rugby punter. A very strong selling point for me as a new Punt team coach is that every claim he made was backed up with game footage to cement the point.. Very happy with the product!!!

I really enjoyed this presentation, as it got me thinking of ways to make other teams spend a ton of time trying to prepare for an unusual kicking style, and for a bunch of fakes that I may or may not decide to use. It would be easy for my program to install, but make other teams spend more time than they want trying to figure out how to stop us. I purchased another rugby punting video that I thought I would like, but I didn't like it that much because of how they ran it. They used WR's, RB's, LB's, and TE's for the blockers on the line, and everyone released downfield to cover the punt after 2 seconds which makes it impossible to run a variety of fakes. I really enjoyed how coach Holmes showed 5 different fakes that he has run, but you could easily add an additional 2-3 fakes into this system which I feel makes his system very difficult to defend. The team I coach for ran 1 fake all season last year, and the coaches spent an entire week designing it which is a huge cost. The kids were super excited when they ran it out of a traditional punt formation, but I can only imagine their excitement when they realize that we could install 5 fake punts and use them at any time during the season. I also really enjoy the philosophy of whatever the return team decides to do, it is the wrong decision. With the traditional punt that we run, there isn't really a chess match going on since you are punting the ball away in a very predictable manner 90% of the time.
