DESCRIPTION

1 In three man situation – player (a) rolls the ball, player (b) is acting half and player (c) is the receiver. 2 Player (a) rolls to (b) who passes to (c) who takes the ball on the run close to the advantage line. (The Advantage line is an imaginary line which would be created should a line be drawn across the field using the ball, in the roll ball situation, as it’s marker.) 3 (b) wraps around (c) calling for the ball. He probably will not receive the ball but is at least creating confusion for defenders and will now be in position to take the next ruck. 4 (c) angles back in front of the ruck and tries to get between two defenders. (c) makes touch at the defensive line and rolls the ball back to (a) who has moved forward and is now acting half. 5 Procedure is now repeated with (c) rolling ball, (a) acting half and (b) receiving. 6 (a) now wraps (b) who angles back in front of the ruck and (c) moves to acting half. 7 Repeat as often as necessary – at least three times coming out of own half.

COACHING POINTS

• To be effective must be carried out with continuous motion and not stop and start. • Player who rolls ball goes to acting half. • Acting half wraps receiver, calls for ball and maintains position. • Receivers keep coming from the same side. • Receivers angle back in front of the ruck and get between defenders. • Receivers make touches on defenders to stay in control. • Receivers take ball on run – never standing still. • Always call loudly and urgently for the ball.
