No backs in there IS. They were combing their hair, somewhere else.Looks to me like Robinson is pulling while everyone else is pushing - get the backs out of the way
It was interesting that Fat Cat (the player, not the forum member) took a couple of the scrum drills with the Invited Players involved. TPN also had a bit to say.
Cheika himself did the bulk of the scrum coaching: he goes from backs to forwards when they are split up.
Last year ex-Waratah Andrew Blades, who is in charge of Wallabies set-piece coaching, came in for several sessions and no doubt he will be showing up soon if he is not there already.
I wouldn't mind a wager that the Tahs would like to get Blades' opinion of the last prop to included in the Tahs' 35, but that's just a guess.
He probably goes to all the Oz Super teams and will likely be involved with the three Aussie Under 20 teams and the national Under 20 team chosen from those three.
Something I have forgotten to mention in my dribblings about the Tahs training: when they do choke tackle work or counter-rucking (for and against) and presenting the ball properly stuff, they do it in pods, usually of three or four attackers against the same number of defenders.
Just the forwards? No, all the backs as well—and mixed in too.
