| 2009-09-25 | Scotty | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Nick appears to be a long term contributor to this resource and yet he still maintains to provide prompt and passionate responses two and a half years on. His passion for the sport is evident in the amount of time and interest he appears to invest in every single answer. his answer to me whilst mostly common sense, has helped me identify different aspects of traveling with my sport and negotiating that I may have not identified and prepared for earlier. I feel more empowered with his advice and further 'homework' to be successful in my endeavors. thanks nicknick. |
| 2009-09-24 | Alex | 7 | 10 | 9 | 10 | Yes | I only rated knowledgeability low due to his inexperience in the back line. This is not something that should be seen as a bad thing, it was my fault for choosing the wrong expert. Despite his inexperience, he answered my question in a thoughtful manner and brought several tips that I found to be helpful. |

| 2009-07-06 | Joshua Lewis | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much for your quick response. I think that is what I will do. Kind regards. |
| 2009-06-25 | Steve | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Nick...... illuminating stuff. It was fascinating, after the first Springboks/Lions test, to see how the rugby boot was on the other foot. After Vickery's mauling at the hands of the Beast, it was the Lions (or some of them) complaining about the legality if the Boks scrum. I think it goes to prove your point. All the best, Steve. |

| 2009-03-19 | Dave | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Nick. My boys have read over your response, nodding and smiling to each other and are looking forward to practising on the training pitch and putting your advice into play in their next match. Having twins as props worries the opposition from the outset and they need to capitalise on that. Because they play both club rugby and county representative rugby, the differing coaching advice they receive seems to be muddling their playing styles. What you have said is of huge help to get them to focus on overall skills and decision making and the role of the half back (who is very mouthy indeed). You were spot on with the comment regarding end of season play-offs. The pack has been magnificent all season, but was overwhelmed in a play off recently - a case of having it too much their own way for too long and becoming complacent. Thank you! Best wishes, Dave |
| 2009-03-19 | Janet | 9 | 8 | 9 | 10 | No | Thanks Nick! :) |

| 2009-03-06 | Chris | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks. Brilliant advice as usual. I'm now pack leader (!!) and contribute to most of the team discussions unless its something about wingers.etc. Semi final this sunday. Were against the hardest team 'supposidly' but they're weakpoint is their discipline and without punches we aim to exploit it. Thanks again! Chris |
| 2009-03-06 | Sean | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Very helpful, thanks again! |

Expertise
I can answer most questions in detail but I am best used for "Forward" positions especially the "tight 5" and the scrum. I am a front row guy myself. I have good knowledge of game strategy and tactics. I cannot give detailed help with kicking myself but I can suggest general training applications and point you towards good resources. I am a New Zealander living in Southern California, USA. With regard to fitness or weight training: please understand that you are best going to a gym and getting first hand consultation from a qualified trainer. The risk of injury is too great for me to simply give you a program without being able to analyze your fitness or capabilities in person. I really suggest going through my previously answered questions as well. The most common repeat questions refer to tackling.
Experience
I have played rugby from the age of 5 (I am 33 now) I have played "Premier" rugby in New Zealand, London, California, Colorado. I have coached youth, Mens and Womens rugby.
