Welcome to the Coaching Knife when we cut to the root of the matter. In this episode, we speak to Gavin Blackburn, Head Coach Cambuslang RFC.

Focusing on the scrum rugby we are going to cut to the root on how to deal with a pack that’s dominating you.

Gavin was a former age-grade district and international prop. He was a member of Saracens’ academy programme in the late 1990s, then played club rugby for London Scottish, Glasgow Hawks, Glasgow Southern, and Stirling County coached at Dunfermline, Kilmarnock, Biggar, Garnock, West of Scotland and Stirling County, and was a development officer for five years between 2012 and 2017 in the Garnock Valley.

His philosophy is to develop players by using a drill to demonstrate key points and then putting them into a conditioned game to work on these points/skills under pressure.
