does anyone have any drills for players holding up possession to either bring other players into the game or run the clock down?
Hi Neal,
This drill is perfect to encourage players to hold up the ball and maintain possession. Get your players into the mentality of winning the ball and looking to offload the ball to runners rather than instantly thinking about beating a man.
This drill will force players to look to be the link rather than to beat a player. Give it a try and focus on the mentality of players to get into the habit of maintaining possession.
I hope this helps!
Rugby Rules
Similar to the answer above, a good way to do this is to set up a small sided possession game (3 v 1 or 3 v 2) in a box just outside the penalty area. Add the rest of each team enough to make 6 v 6, 10 yards behind that box towards midfield. Once the possession game has completed 3 consecutive passes they can try to move the ball to teammates outside their box and go for goal.
The trick is once the ball goes out of the possession box and the attack starts to build, rugby rules go into effect. This means that passes must be made laterally or backwards and players must work to create space to dribble through. It also encourages players to get to the end line no matter where on the end line they can get to because then all passes would be legal.

World Rugby has reportedly conceded Aaron Smith's disallowed try in the World Cup final should have stood.
