You must be doing an RFU Level 2 Award!

I can't give you the session as that would be cheating but I can give you a tip:

Think about what each player is trying to achieve. What will the opposition be trying to achieve? In this way you will be able to work out what is needed by each player. Possession or securing the ball.

I hope this helps a bit and good luck on the course.
