Basic Defense: Step 2

What a fantastic tool. I've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...
Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

When set players will call (together, Loud, Assertive)

"HOLD, HOLD, HOLD" - with ball in scrum halfs hands

"TURF!!" - when ball is released.

 

Players will ACCELLERATE OFF THE LINE & concentrating on HOLDING A LINE & the SPACE BETWEEN ONE ANOTHER

 

COACHING POINTS

  • Keep re-iterating the points from Setup.
    Players will not do things right unless coaches demand it
  • Not all players will be as fast as eachother, this naturally will create an imbalance between line speed & line integrity
    As players they have a responsibility to find a balance themselves.
    As coaches we must outline this to them, & help as much as we can
