Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
I've seen this several times but most recently in the Currie up championship this weekend. -penalty awarded within opposition's 22m -one of the halves picks up the ball gets to the mark -tap kicks then cross kicks to an open wing, flanker, etc. -try time. Here are my questions%3A 1)Is there any law that makes the half tap kick before cross kicking to his player? 2)Wouldn't crosskicking straight away provide a cushion? If he botched the kick and it went out of bounds, wouldn't a line out be awarded to his team?
Ask a question and have it answered by Coaches from around the world and Sportplan's team of Experts.
Making the full-back position an attractive proposition. Often over-looked, the full-back position is a vital player in anyones team if he is used and brought into the game. Does anyone have any technical/positional material to coach prospective players in this position?
Does anyone have a good set of graphics which shows contact points for the various types of kicks in rugby i.e sweet spot of ball for place kick with top of foot. I am trying to draw them but I'm no artist. It seems in grade rugby everyone use the same kick all the time. They get comfortable with the spiral so they use it as a up and under, penalty, and ground game kick. As I am a forward I am not skilled kicking enough to demonstrate kicks.

U11 Rugby I am coaching the U11's this season. There are some significant rule changes from U10. Please can I get some advice on what lessons were learned from coaches who have been through a similar experience.
After the Six Nations kicked off this weekend, and the 3 failed attempts at the end of the game respectively, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to why these drop goals were missed, and the best ways to coach the technique?
What should I do to have a consistent kick for a try conversion?

The isolated ball carrier is rugby's spookiest turnover. Here is the five-step fix, plus drills that rebuild support lines fast.
Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
