Strategies, Tactics & Training for Sevens Rugby

We’re delighted to announce the launch of a new rugby sevens coaching manual: Colin Hillman’s Expert Guide to Sevens - your complete guide to strategy, tactics and training for sevens rugby.

For the first time ever, the very best in the coaching world of sevens have come together with all their ideas, strategies, training exercises and drills, all in one place.

Covering all aspects of sevens rugby, international head coaches who have contributed include:

• Mike Friday (former England coach)
• Gordon Tietjens (New Zealand coach)
• Paul Treu (South Africa coach)
• Paul John (Welsh coach)
• Stephen Gemmell (Scotland coach)
• Liam Middleton (former Zimbabwe head coach)
• Billy Millard (former Australia head coach)
• Ben Ryan (England head coach)
• Wayne Barnes (IRB International Referee)
• And many more

Why are they writing here?

Because of Colin Hillman - one of the unsung heroes on the sevens circuit. Colin effectively invented the modern day game of sevens and whilst writing this book, he sadly passed away last year. But such was the respect for Colin, the very best in the coaching world of sevens rushed in to help finish off the book.

Read the foreword by Terry Sands, former England sevens manager here.
