Rugby: Attacking footwork and tackling

Description

Grid size is around 5x5m. You can keep changing the size of the grid. 

The defender must shadow the attacker as they run towards a cone (left or right) before then trying to spring over the back line to score a try.

The defender must touch the cone with their hand whereas the attacker doesn't have to (giving the attacker the advantage).

Attacker is looking to score between the opposite cones.

Coaching points

Vital for the attacker to beat defenders with footwork and therefore get go forward.

Defenders learn how to close down the space and read attacker.
