The Rugby Site is an online resource platform focused on rugby education, positioned as an international “rugby coach education resource” platform. The text indicates that it is operated by a New Zealand organization and was launched in 2010 by Brendon Ratcliffe together with Sir Wayne Smith, Sir Graham Henry, Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, and others. Its target users include coaches, players, clubs, and schools.
The platform offers more than 1,000 on-field and off-field resources, while other pages mention 650+ or 850+ videos, so overall its resource library appears to be quite substantial. Topics include passing and catching, kicking, tackling, rucks, attack and defense, set pieces, pre-season training, position-specific skills, rugby sevens, youth/high school training, and player development.
Instruction is mainly delivered through online videos, training plans, PDF activity materials, articles, and video sharing. Coach development pathways can also be built according to age group or organizational needs. In addition to its regular video library, it offers the CALM coach leadership program, match content analysis, and personalized feedback services.
Its biggest highlight is the strength of its coaching lineup. The platform brings together more than 60 coaches and players from around the world, including World Cup-winning coaches, All Blacks legends, international-level coaches, and women’s and sevens rugby coaches and players.
The main teaching language is English. The text mentions that Spanish, Japanese, Georgian, and French translated content has been produced, but there is no indication of Chinese-language support.
The platform uses a subscription model, with monthly, annual, individual, and group plans, as well as a 3-day free trial. Individual plans include Standard Coach at US$10.95 per month or US$75 per year, 7s and Youth/High School at US$35 per year, and Player at US$14.95 per year. Group coach plans range from US$40 to US$300, while groups of more than 10 people need to contact the platform for a custom plan.
The terms state that subscriptions renew automatically, and because videos can be watched immediately after purchase, refunds are not provided.
The main advantages are its strong vertical focus, highly practical content, and authoritative instructors. It is especially suitable for users who need to prepare lessons, design training sessions, learn position-specific techniques, or build a coaching system for a club.
The downsides are that no formal accreditation or certificate information was found, and the pricing information is fairly extensive and somewhat scattered. The content is also highly focused on rugby, so it offers limited value for users outside the sport.
The scraped text does not specify availability in mainland China, supported payment methods, or video playback stability, so its accessibility from China is unknown.
