Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
Hi I need help with this multiple-choice question from the world rugby laws test. How must the props bind when the front rows engage?;1. Loose head prop binds outside the tight head's right arm2. Tight head prop binds outside the loose head's left arm3. Tight head prop may bind on the loose head prop's upper arm4. Tight head prop may opt not to bind5..All props must bind on the back or side of the opposing props' bodies6.Once bound, props may exert upward or downward pressure on opponents
My fowards seem afraid to ruck and stand around the ruck while in the way of the scrum half trying to get the ball out to the backs. They also don't support the ball carrier while he is being tackled. Please help me with any suggestions!!!

Please can someone tell me the main differance in the role of a loose head and tight head prop in a scrum?
My son's u16 team is suffering from a wheeling scrum. The front row's height is 5'6 for the loosehead and hooker and 5'11 for the tighthead. Is this a contributary cause? My guess would be that their shoulders are not hitting squarely, causing an angle.
My props (and I ) lack front row experience
please how do idefine the players in the pitchie. who is the flanker, hooker, fly half etc
Hi, I'm required to coach the tight 5 to right wheel a scrum - yes, it's for an exam. I have researched it - including talking to forwards - and all of the sparse info out there describes unlawful techniques. I can make a stab at almost anything apart from this 'black art' as I have no references to use. Help!
We have two very fast wingers but we cannot get them the ball . Teams are coming up fast and we are lucky to get the ball to the O. C. We have tried setting up further back but too many times we are getting caught behind the gain lines when we do that. Any ideas?
how do you stop a maul from a line out on your own try line to stop them from scoring
Hello to anyone reading this.I used to play as a tight head prop in high school but I've lost a significant amount of weight (currently 70 kilos) and I am only 170cm tall. I am currently 20 years old. I would really appreciate if anyone has any advice. Thanks
how does the hooker protect themselves from being bored by the opposition hooker and prop?
What would be the likely outcome of a scrum fed from the thrower's tighthead side? Who would more likely win possession and what quality of possession could be expected? What if the law was that most scrums were required to be fed from the thrower's tighthead with the non offender determining who was to feed? The remainder, such as penalty scrums, would stay as is. Could this encourage a more constructive approach to scrummaging?
what are good beginner backline moves
I am looking for a set up for receiving a kickoff in rugby. We are using the expoloded scrum method and marking their forwards on the kickoff now. But if the forwards move or are split we end up looking like the Keystone Cops trying to match. What is a prefered set up?
Any "simple" attacking moves from a scrum that you can recommend for a U15s XV side. Looking to get them to think about how the back line would would set up and have different options from a) center field and b) tight left or right all at the half way mark.
I keep hearing the term flood the channel, what does this mean?
