England's Rugby World Cup lineout shocker has provided a learning opportunity for 2003 World Cup winning coach Sir Clive Woodward.
Woodward was one of several speakers, alongside World Rugby boss Brett Gosper and former All Blacks taskmaster Sir Graham Henry at a rugby conference overnight in London.
Woodward's address 'How
to build a champion team' focused on his own experiences both in rugby and with the Team GB Olympic programme while also talking about moments under pressure.
In his slideshow he gave two video examples of moments under pressure, the first a diving competition at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the second one straight from Chris Robshaw's decision to go for touch in Sunday morning's match against Wales.
Woodward emphasised the importance of understanding pressure and revealed when he was in charge of England, he would stop team meetings to throw such a scenario at a player, like being four points down with five minutes to play.
