The seven main screens in the application are accessed by clicking on the seven buttons running along the bottom of the screens. To access the All Black, Videos, CompareME and Report screens you are required to complete steps in previous screens. These buttons will change from grey to green as you complete the required steps.

The first time you access any purchased wizard you will need to activate the wizard and it then becomes “ready” for use.

Clicking and sliding the 100% button allows you to set the playback speed.
The Flipped box can be selected to view the All Black completing the skill from the opposite direction. By selecting this button a left foot kick will now appear right-footed or a right hand pass will now appear left-handed.

NOTE: When you download the free sportswizards Player™ and initial Free Rugby sportswizard™ you will also receive a video clip of an aspiring rugby player completing the skill which you can use in the CompareME function. This video clip can be found in the My Videos folder on your computer.

 help menu and also print off the Video Instructions located in the All Black screen.The video screen is where you retrieve and select the videos of yourself or friends that you wish to analyse in the CompareME screen.
