IN THIS GAME THE MIDDLE TEAM HAS 2 MINS TO SCORE AS MANY TRIES AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SWAPPING OVER. THIS WILL HELP DEVELOP FIXING THE DEFENDER, CREATING SPACE AND PASSING ALONG THE LINE. THE ATTACKING TEAM SHOULD BE ABLE TO SCORE WITH EASE. IF THE ATTACKING TEAM SCORES THEY TURN AROUND AND ATTACK THE OTHER END OF THE PITCH, IF THE BALL CARRIER IS TOUCHED THEY TURN AROUND AND ATTACK THE OTHER END OF PITCH
LET THE GAME RUN WITHOUT ANY INSTRUCTION FOR THE FIRST FEW ATTEMPTS ASK WHAT THEY COULD DO BETTER TO SCORE MORE TRIES THE NEXT TIME AROUND KEY POINTS TO LOOK FOR PASSING TECH DEPTH OF RUNNING FIXING DEFENDER IDENTIFING SPACE DEFENDERS REACTING TO ATTACKERS DECISIONS ATTACKING THE ATTACKING LINE TO PUT PRESSURE ON DRIFT ACROSS

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.
