Counter ruck
Description:
Condition the drill in favour of 1 team, in this case the blue team.
All players lay on their fronts behind the tackle bags.
On the coaches whistle, the 2 teams move to contest possession.
The blue players can move straight over the bag to contest, but only the 1st red player can do the same. The other 2 red players have to run round the cones before moving in to counter ruck.
Coaching Points:
- players get used to counter ruck call/signal
- low to high drive, with emphasis on driving oppo through the ruck
- eyes open, grab hold of hook/handle to clear out
Just to add some key points to the above
- Make sure players know and understand 'the gate' and its meaning/where it is.
- always come through the gate and drive through the middle from behind
- do not hold on and stay static
- do not aim to create a platform, ideally players should try to drive through in single file.
I did a counter rucking session at a school last night, and added the above points as a result of what I saw.
