Players learn to respond to tackle situation (attack)
Easy - closest player gives ruck support: attack straight or one lane over. Do not attack straight in middle lane.
Harder - support players must communicate about their role in support: attack straight in middle lane. Attack 2 lanes over.
Contact: low to high - staight
lines : through gate
Communication: claim ruck support.
