This drill is used to teach the player what to do when a tackle is made and using a three stage breakdown to win back possession. Stage One: First player to the breakdown clears the ruck Stage Two:Second player to the breakdown secures/claims the ruck Stage Three: Third player to the breakdown recovers the ball and maintains possession. This is a good way to increase the speed of your players responses to breakdowns and other opportunities to reclaim possession. This also helps the player accelerate into the tackle instead of slowing down due to sub-conscious fear of collision.

Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.
The isolated ball carrier is rugby's spookiest turnover. Here is the five-step fix, plus drills that rebuild support lines fast.
Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
