Rugby: Support play touch

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

1. The first line of attackers move forward, passing the ball down the line.
2. The entire group switches position to the right side of the grid, and attacks as a line.
3. They then attack down the grid through the top of the grid, facing the next line of attack.

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.

Players work in groups of 3 around the cone in a single file and must quickly realign to receive a pass each on the outside shoulder.

Once all players have received the pass they pass to the next group - drill continues in this way.

• Players work 45 seconds at a time before rotating. 
• Play made tackle and drives the pad back. The player then goes on the floor, pops up and turns to counter ruck the other part (who has moved right behind him). 
• Groups of 4. 
• 2 pad holders. 
• One worker. 
• One resting 
• 45 seconds before rotating positions 
• This can be done without pads with body acting as resistance. 
• Keep back straight. 
• Hits square 
• Driver legs (short fast steps)
