  • Episode 2: Can Rugby Players handle the training of the Royal Marines?
    The boys travel down to Lympstone to train at the Commando Training Centre. Watch the Chiefs get pushed to the limits as they battle through the physical challenges of the assault course, the psychological challenge of the endurance course, and the exhaustion of the mud of the river Exe.

      37 year's on and I'm still devastated at not making it past the career's office interview. Yes, that's correct I passed the exams but failed the interview. I truly believe that I had the physical attribute's and mental fortitude to become a RM Commando. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Thank God for that then but I have huge respect for the players and our Marines. Definitely got a new sub. More please.

      @@brianmcsweeney9401 , certainly can, i was down there.. Woodward picked his final squad for the WC, he knew they would not win in 1999, it was all geared up for 2003. Johnson mentioned it in his book and somewhere on youtube there is a vid...The squad spent time with the elite amphibious force in the run-up to the 1999 tournament, but Woodward says there wasn't enough time for their lessons to take effect. His side suffered a heavy loss to South Africa in the quarter-finals.
      Four years later, it was a different story, as the Marines culture had really taken hold within the England set-up.
      Woodward remembers a senior Marine trainer telling him: “Ok, if you want to hear it, there are men in your squad who we wouldn’t go into battle with. It’s not about their skills, it’s about their attitude and effect on the team.
      “In high-pressure combat situations just one negative trait can destroy a whole team. One wrong team player can sap the energy from the whole group.”
      Woodward began to implement their recommendations as soon as the 1999 tournament had finished.
      “After the World Cup the energy sappers were all sorted out,” Woodward remembers. “Some I managed to turn around. In every case none of them had actually realised that what they’d been doing behind the scenes could cause so many problems.
      “England arrived at the World Cup with a 30-strong team of energisers plus another 20 at home hoping to take part.”

    I've always thought rugby players and boxers would be the best equipped for bottom field and the four Commando tests, (endurance test, nine miler, Tarzan assault course and thirty miler), in fact when you take in the exercises like final ex were yomping is a big part IMO rugby players should excel compared to other sportsmen.
