‘I was embarrassed by my coaching after watching Pep take the session,’ said Jones new England Head Rugby Coach. ‘He was so bloody brilliant. He has got some of the best players in the world — Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and Thomas Muller — and he just worked them so hard. It was -3C and they came off the field dripping with sweat, they had worked that hard.’
Martin Samuels also wrote in Daily Mail about use of small sided games in training, Steve MccLaren spend time with him at Barcelona and said he never did a traditional 11v11 training session in two weeks.
