Rugby: Clear out and Jackal work

Description

• Ball 
• Tackle Suits 

Players around the outside pass the ball around with eachtoher until coach blows his whistle. 

Whoever has ball in hand then attacks the defender in the middle. 

The two players closest (1,2) become the clear out players with the attacking player with the ball. 

The 3rd layer on the outside becomes the Jackler, after the player in the middle has made a low chop tackle.
