Half Backs to Runners Phase Play Drill (Rugby IQ 6)

Great site and excellent drills. Easy to understand and apply in training....
Tyrone, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Aim: Ball retention and timing onto the ball by supporting runners.


Description:


  • Six players each holding a contact shield line up across the length off the grid in pairs ready to defend.
  • A designated scrumhalf and flyhalf each have a pod of 3 players standing with them at the start of the drill facing the players defending with contact shields.
  • The scrumhalf starts the drill by passing to the first pod of 3 players who make contact and clean out the first 2 shields presenting the ball back to the scrumhalf.
  • He then passes to the flyhalf who links with the second pod of players who make contact with the second 2 shields waiting on defence.
  • Once again the shields are cleaned out by the pod and the scrumhalf follows to secure the ball.
  • The first pod has now run around to receive the ball again from the flyhalf and make contact with the 3rd pair of shields, clean out and present to scrumhalf.
  • This continues with scrumhalf playing flyhalf who plays a pod who clean and present in the pattern shown on he video.

COACHING POINTS

  • Make sure the players are running from depth and taking the ball at pace from the flyhalf.
  • Get the players cleaning effectively through the contact point and ensure the player going into contact stays on his feet until support arrives.
