Richie Gray, the inventor of the Rhino Collision King range of products is now back in his role as International Skills Coach with Rhino after an extended secondment as specialist breakdown coach to the Springboks for The Rugby Championship and their Autumn internationals in Europe. Now generally recognised as the world's leading authority on the breakdown, Galashiels based Gray also represents Rhino north of the border in addition to his activities as an innovative developer of equipment for rugby and other sports.
It was during the Springboks visit to Edinburgh for their comprehensive 28-0 victory over Scotland on November 17th that Gray's role with the Springboks attracted most media attention, particularly as Scotland have recently cast their net far and wide for their senior coaches.
The Springbok breakdown statistics have improved markedly during Richie's spell with them and all at Rhino congratulate him on this achievement, and vindication of his ideas and methodology at the highest levels of the game. In the meantime, Richie's next major project is a Rhino Collision King range specifically developed for rugby league, due for launch in February next year.
