Rucking Fundamental Drill. This drill is set out with 3 markers 10 meters vertically apart and over 5 meters horizontally apart. There are 3 players required to complete this drill. The first player is the one holding the ball standing at the marker. The second player is going to be the dummy-half who is traling the player running with the ball. The thrid player is going to trail both players but much further behind the 2 other players as he/she is going to be the next reciever. The first player who is running with the ball, rucks 10 meters and plays the ball as if he has been "touched" in touch football game. The second player scoops the ball after the first player as rolled the ball. The second player now has the ball and runs a few meters before passing to the thrid player who is recieving the pass from the second player. Once the third player has caught the pall the first player who rolled the ball in the first ruck becomes the dummy-half and dummy-half become the next reciever. This process is completed for 3 rucks and on the last ruck the reciever just runs to the end. After the 4 rucks have been completed it is to be done going the opposite dirrection.
