Rugby: 2v2 Tackle and Clear Out

Ingrain correct techniques and habits into your players with this session as we focus on tackling and rucking skills.

• Small playing area, for 1 v 1 tackling.
• Players line up in two lines adjacent to the coned area.
• Coach shouts go and the front two players run round their end to end up facing each other.
• The coach passes the ball to the attacker who runs at the defender, and the defender tries to take them down.

• Get all players into teams of 3
• One group of 3 with bibs start as defenders 
• In a 10mx10m grid - the other groups line up either side of the grid as attackers. Split evenly.
• The defenders work together to stop the attacking side scoring and getting through 
• After a tackle is made or a try is scored, the attacking team pop the ball off to a team on the other side of the grid who attack straight away
• Defending side need to react and realign quickly to stop the next team from scoring
• Start as shoulder on and then can progress to full contact
• Defence works for 1 minute and then change
