Coaching points

• Ball carriers carry the ball in two hands, but be flexible if players wish to experiment. Discuss the pros and cons with them.
• Question, don't tell. Rugby is a simple game, draw the coaching points from your players.
• Ball carriers use footwork to avoid contact, or to move out of contact quickly, giving them a better position to off-load the ball.
• Support runners communicate giving the ball carrier information about timing, position etc.
• Attackers use a variety of passes.
• Allow players to experiment and have fun.
