Alan Kingsley worked on Argentina’s kicking game at training in Dublin today.
ARGENTINA’S TRAINING SESSION is winding down as the media are led pitchside at Wanderers rugby club in Dublin for ‘vision access,’ the 15 minutes during which they’re allowed to film what’s going on.
‘Dr Phil’ returned to Leinster as an assistant coach in 2018, spending four years leading their backs play and set-piece strikes. By that stage, legendary Pumas out-half Contepomi was realistically already on the pathway to becoming the national team head coach. Restarts have always been crucial but they’re even more valuable now given the new directive on kick chasers getting clear access to the aerial contest. Coaches like Kingsley’s value has risen even further due to that game-changing tweak from World Rugby.
He was with Argentina for the World Cup last year and has continued his role under Contepomi, joining them for all training camps as well as working one-on-one with Argentinian players based in Europe. Some Argentinian fans haven’t enjoyed their team’s scrum looking less potent than in the past but there is still ferocious pride among a Pumas pack that has changed quite a bit.
