THE RHINO COLLISION KING
‘One of the biggest breakthroughs in rugby training equipment in recent years’ – Jim Telfer
Most leading coaches and commentators believe that the Rugby World Cup 2011 will be won and lost at the breakdown or ‘collision’ – the winning sides will be those that are able to bring top quality technique and practised aggression to this aspect of the game. Richie Gray, an experienced specialist skills coach based in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders has spent a number of years developing a simple yet highly effective machine to enable players to practice correct body position and technique in this most important phase of play. He has just recently teamed up with Rhino Rugby to launch the resulting product – already based on demonstrations of the prototype England, Wales and Scotland have ordered multiples of the Rhino Collision King for their Rugby World Cup training camps and interest is flooding in from around the rugby world.

“When any new bit of kit is released you will have your reservations about its purpose and claims. As soon as I used the Collision King for the first time with the 1st XV, those reservations were blown away. There is not another bit of kit on the market that demonstrates the importance of the player’s body positioning at the breakdown, which is obviously a crucial area of the game. It is also a fantastic bit of kit for conditioning and we use it to extensively to add variation to the training programmes of our boys here at Harrow”
Jesse Coulson: Director of Sport – Harrow School
