Rugby: Game - 6 vs 4

What better way to cover all the skills we've previously worked on (including handling, passing and decision making) than with a fun games session?

Things are about to get a lot tougher in this penultimate tag session - more defenders mean more decisions for your attackers - can they think fast enough to find the space?

Teach your players to run with depth and when they should pass to their support players to improve their attacking play and evade the opposition's defence

Large Grid 30m x 30m. Start with 5 defenders in the middle, everybody else stands at one end of the grid wearing tags.

On the coach's call all attackers try to run past the 5 defenders and get to the opposite side of the grid.

Attackers that are tagged join the defenders in the middle, the game keeps going until there are no attackers left.

Players 1 starts standing with the ball. Player 2 starts on one knee. Player 3 starts on both knees. Player 4 lies on their front. Player 5 lies on their back.

On the teachers call, all players try to start running forward as quickly as possible, and pass the ball along the line. The starting positions should mean that every pass is made to a player supporting from behind.

In the first channel, players pass the ball across the line in a chain. After the first pass, the player that started the chain remains in the middle to become a defender

Change the shape of the defenders. Instead of a single line, one behind the other, try 1 then 3 then 1 or 1 2 2.
