Rugby: Man to Man

Description

3 attackers and 2 defenders.

The scrum half passes to the first receiver of group of 3 attackers.

Coaching points

• 2 defenders move forward fast (line speed)
• Stay balanced
• First defender stays on 1st attacker
• 2nd defender stays on 2nd attacker
• Maximum line speed - close down space quickly
• Final approach with control - shorten footwork
• Prepare for contact with a front on tackle as above.
