Everything I coded at Tuesday's session — 7 July, Santiago. Tap your name for your reps, your work-ons and how I grade you. Then message me your plan for Thursday and warm up with purpose.
Finish strong
The biggest gap on Tuesday was the same thing across the whole pack: getting the boost, then not completing the lift. Roughly two in three lifts got up and didn't finish. That's the one to move tomorrow.
front lifter
back lifter
(jump shape)
on target
Low throws ran through the session (29 of 41 landed low), and the glass was broken on our own ball 44 times across the lineout work. The "fake boost" showed up in more than one lifter. Tap your name for your version of it.
The best lineout in the world still loses to itself, not the opposition. When Australia had the best lineout on earth, nearly all the ball they lost was their own error — not a steal. On Tuesday, we lost to ourselves.
Two of the same thing isn't bad luck — it's a habit. And a habit in training is a habit in a game. Wherever your page shows a repeat, that's the first thing to kill. Fix it now or we lose to ourselves.
So you know exactly what I'm looking for. Come to me on any of these to talk it through or get drills.

didn't finish strong ×12 · broke the glass ×11 · no boost ×5. If it happened twice on Tuesday it will happen in a game. This is the stuff to kill now — we lose to ourselves.
Finish strong is the one to own 2 of 14 lifts
Your boost is mostly there — you get up under the jumper. It's the completion that isn't: you finished strong on 2 of your 14 lifts. That's the single biggest number in the whole session and it's on the front row. Lead on this.
Stay off the glass on our own ball 11 reps
On our throw you drifted onto the defence and handed them the space. Hold your ground on the way up.
Boost is there
You get up under the jumper on most reps — 9 of 14 full boost. Convert that into finishing and you're a serious lift.

low throw ×25 · early throw ×14 · not straight ×7 · late throw ×2. If it happened twice on Tuesday it will happen in a game. This is the stuff to kill now — we lose to ourselves.
Length — the throw is landing low low on most
The session's throw picture is dominated by low. It reads like a distance/length issue more than anything technical. Come find me and we'll look at exactly where they're landing on the longer calls.
Straightness several not-straight
A handful drifted off straight down the tunnel. Worth a few reps.
The target's in you
Your clean throws show it lands when the timing's right. Note: a couple of the 'good' ones sat on a fake or no-boost lift, so they may have flattered slightly — we'll separate those.

didn't finish strong ×6. If it happened twice on Tuesday it will happen in a game. This is the stuff to kill now — we lose to ourselves.
Finish strong — start with the catch 0 of 6
On the very first rep I flagged it: catching on the hamstrings and pushing is what stops you finishing. Sort the catch and the finish follows. And remember — if you want your locks to look after you, you have to look after them.
Boost mostly there
4 of 6 full boost — the engine's fine, it's the catch and finish to fix.

didn't finish strong ×7 · drill off ×3 · broke the glass ×5. If it happened twice on Tuesday it will happen in a game. This is the stuff to kill now — we lose to ourselves.
Jump up, not back drill off on 3 of 5
You're leaning back rather than jumping straight up and down. Ankles, knees, hips, shoulders stacked and drive vertically — it makes you far easier to lift.
Finish strong as a lifter 4 of 11 lifts
Your boost and delivery are good; the lift completion is the gap.
Delivery + boost
Delivery clean on 4 of 5 jumps, and boost on 10 of 11 lifts. Strong all-round contribution.

delivery missed ×5 · didn't finish strong ×12 · broke the glass ×13 · fake boost ×4 · no boost ×5 · drill off ×3. If it happened twice on Tuesday it will happen in a game. This is the stuff to kill now — we lose to ourselves.
Finish strong + the fake boost 3 of 15 lifts, 4 fake
You carried the biggest workload in the room, so the theme shows up most on you. On the fake boosts your hands came off without adding height — stay connected and actually drive the lift.
Stay off the glass 13 reps
Most glass breaks of anyone. On attack, hold your ground.
Huge engine, good drill
Most-worked forward in the session across jump and lift, and your drill held at 8 of 11. Volume's not the issue — quality under it is.

Get full boost, every rep boost on 4 of 9
Half your lifts didn't get to full boost — a mix of no-boost and one fake. When you commit, it's there; make it every time.
Best finisher of the lifters
Finished strong on 6 of 9 — the best completion rate of any lifter today. That's the standard the others are chasing.

low throw ×4. If it happened twice on Tuesday it will happen in a game. This is the stuff to kill now — we lose to ourselves.
Length — throws landing low low on 4 of 6
Same low-throw picture. Your two clean ones back-to-back show the target's there when the timing's right.
Only clean apexes in the warm-up
Your two on-target throws came back-to-back — the cleanest of the warm-up block.

Finish strong 1 of 5
Warm-up reps only today, but the finish is the detail — boost is mostly there, completion isn't.

3 of 5 full boost.

delivery missed ×5 · didn't finish strong ×2. If it happened twice on Tuesday it will happen in a game. This is the stuff to kill now — we lose to ourselves.
Delivery — nothing's coming out 0 of 5 as jumper
Your drill is good (4 of 5), but the ball isn't being delivered clean off the top on any of them. That's the priority.
Finish strong as back lifter 0 of 2
As I said on the day — you boost and let go and transition, but the grip that keeps you and the jumper tight isn't quite there yet. Velcro him.
Drill is good
Drill good on 4 of 5 — you get up well. Now get the ball out.

Sort your jump setup drill off on both jumps
On the day I asked whether you want to step, or whether jumping from a split stance is ok — let's answer it. Your jump shape is the thing to fix.
Immaculate lifting
Boost 3 of 3 and finished strong 3 of 3 — a perfect lifting card and the best finish rate in the session. Bottle that.

Finish strong 1 of 7
Your boost is there on nearly every rep (6 of 7) — it's the finish that's missing. Same shape as the front-row theme.

The fake boost 3 back-lifts in a row
On reps back-to-back your hands came off the jumper but they stayed about where they'd be unlifted — the picture I showed you. Stay connected and add real height. (Logged as no-boost pending the code.)
Delivery as jumper 0 of 2
When you jumped, the ball didn't come out clean.
Clean front lift
As front lifter your boost and finish were both there. It's the back-lift boost to fix.

Drill under load 7 of 18
You carried the most jump reps of anyone by a distance (18). The shape dipped, and it may be fatigue as much as technique given that volume — let's talk about how we manage your load.
Stay off the glass 11 reps
On our own ball, hold your ground rather than drifting onto the defence.
Set the whole session up
82% clean delivery across 17 jumps and boost on 10 of 11 lifts, at the highest volume of anyone. Not in the Chile 23, but your work made everyone else's reps possible.
