Rugby: Avoid the Tackler

Description

2 players on each side of a coned area with 1 player in the middle as the tackler.

Player 1 runs with the ball to get to the other side to score a try. They must stay inside the coned area.

Players rotate after all 4 players have run.

Points can be awarded for each try scored, or each tackle made.
