DEFENSE
My team are new and are very slow on reforming the defensive line,any ideas on how to speed it up?
Michael
You could try this simple practise to help your players work together to move as one unit.
They need to communicate to ensure they stay the same distance apart as they move up and back.
I hope this helps you.

Michael, a variation we use for the backs (but could use with forwards too) is to line them up in an attacking line. The coach makes calls in any order they feel like; - lost ball - quickly re-align as a defensive line on fly-half. - Left/right - Forwards/backwards - Kick over - re-align to support full back - Turnover - re-align into attacking line We speed this up as the drill progresses and encourage players to check alignment constantly on both sides, calling colleagues up/back as needed.
