The session improves speed at the breakdown. Effective rucking is the key to playing front-foot rugby, so you can capitalise on when the opposition's defence is disorganised and retreating onside.
Session objective:
Your players should be able to clear a ruck within 3 seconds using a variety of techniques to ensure they use the breakdown to their advantage.
What's in the Session?

We kick off with two warm up games and then develop the skill through a combination of tackle bag drills, mini game and the final Ruck Success conditioned game.
