Rugby: RANGI (VERSION 1)

What a fantastic tool. I've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...

Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Use the diagram to highlight suggested starting positions.
10 is the ball carrier, advancing forward, before cutting in as shown in the diagram.
12 advances, and cut in on the same line as 10.
13 advances and cuts across 12, taking a switch pass from 10.
15 and 14 press up.

COACHING POINTS

Think about what could happen if the move needs to be cancelled, what will happen following the move if we pass the gain line and if we are stopped at the gain line.
Run this unopposed, before adding pressure.
Run this move with pressure as the team gets better.
Run this move as part of a game situation.
Execute as close to the defensive line as possible, but beware of interceptions.
Think about where you will use with move on the pitch.
Think about using cones to mark out starting and target points.
Allow players to cancel, but if they do cancel, what are their options?
Players heads need to be up, a move should be a fluid attacking strategy.
Think about player foot-speed, do the players need to be running flat out all the time?
The pass between the 10 and 13 needs to be as close to the opposition defensive line as possible.

See the diagram for the suggested starting positions.
10 advances with the ball.
12, 13, 14 advancing, closing the space between them and 10.
10 has three passing options, 10 to 12, 10 to 13, or 10 to 14.
11 and 15 provide support depending on the option used.

Backs Moves

ALPHA:

10 is the ball carrier, advancing forward, before cutting in as shown in the diagram.
Both 12 and 13 advance, then change direction as shown in the diagram.
12 and 13 switch.
10 provides a pass to 13, who either hits the opposition defensive line at an angle before straightening up.

Think about what will happen next. Could 10 follow the pass and take an off-load on an inside ball, if 13 gets past the gain line could 15 and 14 off wide support? Make this move your own!
