What Was It That Sparked That?
I went to in 19 I studied teaching in 1969 in 1975 and lived on the continent for five years. Played rugby in France initially and then in Italy and came across a guy called Pierre Villepro who'd been an ex-French international fullback. He was probably the first fullback to be a genuine counter-attacking fullback so instead of just kicking the ball back to the opposition which most fullbacks did, he ran it back. It's engaging with them to find out what they think and what they know that is absolutely vital not only for the older players but actually for youngsters as well.
