Behind the scenes here at Ruckingball it’s been a busy old time!

Our latest technological advancement has gone live today – The RuckingBall iPhone application. It’s available now from iTunes and it’s free! Just search for ‘Ruckingball’ and you’ll find it.

The first phase in the development of this application is to give users access to the experts blogs and daily articles together with a selection of our video tutorials.

As we develop the app we intend to give Level 2 users the ability to log on and view all the 200+ video tutorials. The future will also bring Level 3 which will allow you to upload videos of yourself, your team or your child to the website and get one of our expert team to give you or your teams advice on how to improve – Yep! the likes of Martin / Eddie / Shane and Co. could be giving you personal advice on Rugby Development here at RuckingBall.com which is another first!

We hope this IPhone app makes it easier for you to access our Rugby knowledge base.

Enjoy your Rugby & please give us your feedback in the ‘feedback’ forum – At RuckingBall will always develop the site and the applications based on what our community wants!

Cheers

Another great day in Dublin with the RuckingBall team at Blackrock.

Firstly a big thanks for the warm welcome and generous hospitality that we received at Blackrock College. The weather was kind and although there was no rain there was certainly a bite in the wind coming off the sea! What a fantastic location and i don’t think I’ve ever seen so many Rugby pitches!

Firstly Mikey does a warm up drill

Starting to get a bit more serious

Blackrock old boy Shane Bryne brings some technology on the pitch!

Meanwhile Eddie is a wanted man – So who will win the 6 Nations Eddie?

But someone has to do the training session! Cozza has a bit of sport with the lads

Time for one last picture – but put the PC down Eddie the Ruckingball iphone app launches next week!

What a great couple of days.

Enjoy your Rugby!
