RuggaMatrix breaks new ground this week with Ewen McKenzie’s exclusive review of Invictus, the inspirational film about the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
In the real world we hammer Les Kiss over his Six Nations squad and we ask him your questions about the players left out.
The Heineken Cup is massive this weekend so what better way to prepare than downloading Show 058 of RuggaMatrix.
We go through the major matches and discuss the possibilities.
Super Rugby trials begin this weekend and we take a look at the season ahead.
Our IN DEPTH ANALYSIS this week is VIDEO ANALYSIS – TRAINING.
As video capture and replay technology improves we look at the value of on-field video review during training.
The idea isn’t new but the rapid improvements in screen technologies could see teams at all levels adopting real time review and correction.

He also puts his faith in Robbie Deans despite the Wallabies troubling defeat to Scotland and we get an insiders point of view for the upcoming Clint Eastwood film, Invictus, the story of the 1995 World Cup win by South Africa and Nelson Mandela’s role in bringing the nation together.
Les Kiss handles the Irish end for this weekend’s clash and we also look at the New Zealand v France showdown.
