Team 1 lies on the floor except for 11, 14 and 15 - they line up opposite waiting for the kick. The defensive line wait behind Team 1. After the kick, they chase and put pressure on the counter attack. At the kick, Team 1 need to get up, loop around behind the back 3 and support.
Good for fitness AND teaching counter attacking rugby!

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.
