1. Choose a line to practice on and set up different coloured gates. 2. On coaches call shout a colour and the second row moves to that colour and jumps. 3. Everytime they get to the right colour and ready get them in the habit to call set before they jump. DEVELOPMENT - Add in the hooker throughing in the ball. - Add in opposition just jumpers. - Slowly add in more players to create the feel of a real line up.

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.
