Video Analysis: Rugby's 6 Principles of Play demonstrated
By Liam Dunseath
Video analyst and rugby coach Liam Dunseath takes a look how Rugby's Principles of Play were demonstrated in last weekend's Barbarians versus All Blacks game in Twickenham.
It was an end-to-end match with plenty of spectacle for the neutral. Fundamentally it was also a match-up that expounded the core of principles of the game.
As any good coach will tell you, there are five universally agreed principles of play for rugby union - or six if you're being difficult.
- Contest Possession
- Go Forward
- Support
- Continuity
- Pressure
- Score
As the video demonstrates, all these principles were on show in abundance, and make a great teaching aid for anyone involved in coaching at any level.

I’d say France was far more hard done by in the 2011 final than the All Blacks in this game. Joubert simply refused to call a penalty against the All Blacks in the last quarter even directing an All Black to drop a ball he picked up in an offside position rather than penalizing him. This article also totally discounts the efforts of PSTD. Ask Jordie how well he played. Or the backup flank who played hooker for the entire game. Siya was also a brilliant tackle by Richie from scoring a blinder. Pollard was also fantastic. Look I don’t like the boks style but the only thing more questionable than the content of this article is the timing of it. Get over it already
