The RaboDirect Melbourne Rebels will be holding a Coaching Conference on the 11^th and 12^th of February 2012. This Conference will coincide with the RaboDirect Melbourne Rebels v Auckland Blues trial game and will give all attendees behind the scenes access to team preparation for this game. The Friends of Gordon (“FOGS”) determined that this was an excellent opportunity for our coaching staff and offerred to pay the registration fee for one of our coaches to attend. It has been decided by the coaches that Jason Grier will attend where he receive information from some highly credentialed presenters that will cover a number of relevant Rugby topics. On his return, Jason will share his learnings with all Senior and Colts coaches. This is an important step in nurturing relationships with Super 15 Clubs.
