• Tell your players the following......

1. One the call of the scrum half, the 3 attackers turn, round the cone and attack.
2. The scrum half feeds the ball to the first reciever, players will need to decide who the first reciever is.
3. The other two players fall in at depth, providing support left and support right.
4. The support players can expand the space between them and the ball carrier.
5. As the attack approaches the end of the grid, the coach will point left or right, and the ball must be (without delay) passed to the support player on the side the coach has pointed to.
6. The attacking unit return to join the line in preperation for the next attacking opportunity, they should pass the ball back to the scrum half.
