Hoi Martin,

Enclosed the link to the a website where the scrumtechnique TIM (Total
Impact Method) is explained, perhaps interesting....

Hello,
Interesting stuff - I am very interested to hear if you managed to implement this at your club. Pls. let me know.

I see the advantages of TIM and the ideas behind it are very well pieced together. Also fun to see on TV which teams are using it (Wales and New Zeeland are using it), problably under influence of Graham Henry. Look in which situation (place on the pitch, attack/defence) they are using TIM. You can recognise TIM by looking at the no.8 - he is leaning backwarks and it just looks like he is pulling the second row out of the scrum.

I have tried this at my own club. Never the full pack at training to really give it go. Apart from that too many basic scrum techniques are lacking.

I wonder how many other clubs have this problemn.

I expect that TIM will take many more trainings to get it right and will require a lot of discipline from the pack. How about convincing a Prop who has played for 20 years to convince of another way....

All in all, TIM will be something for top teams and national sides.

The ELV's are the end of the no.8 hammering in the scrum: he has to bind too!
