Community | Rush Defense

Chris Lind Coach, United States of America

DESCRIPTION

Arrange a static backline. Defenders lie on their stomachs in sets of 3. On the whistle, defenders get into alignment. Coach specific responsibilities around the ruck with an emphasis on spacing. On the second whistle the scrum half (not in play other than passing) passes to the 10. Attackers remain static (they do not move), and they go hands down the line. Defenders "rush" the attackers hoping to intercept or make contact before the ball reaches the wing.

COACHING POINTS

-Never rush deeper than the ball -If the pass is intercepted, defenders must make at least 1 pass and then score the try -Progress the drill by allowing the attackers to move forward
