Level Up Videos
In January & February 2021 the IRFU ran a series of online workshops aimed at helping players to understand more about different aspects of positional play by analysing footage from age-grade, amateur, academy and professional rugby.
The focus was on using the skills learned in the workshops as they watch professional rugby. Each half hour session involved input from Coaches, Development Officers, Elite Referees and Players.
The videos from each session are available below.
