Animation software for rugby coaches

Rugby coaches will soon have new software to develop and diagram moves in three dimensions, says Verusco software developer Bryan Mitchell.

The animation will replace squiggly lines on chalk boards, giving players a "much better visual of what has to happen," Mitchell says.
