Use 2 coaches to deliver this drill
Use a 20m wide by 15m long grid
Score as many tries as you can with 10 mins
As soon as pad is touched then long present with ruck simulation
Use 3 blocker runners for the Hammer 2 dummy
The blocker runners then become 10's next arrow
Have 10 dictating the distance of passing from 9 and distance of Arrow Head.
Explain why we are needing to attack wider (Caerphilly so strong around fringes of rucks and not really breaking the gain line)
Coaches to use a coloured pad for 10 to aim at. Simulating a gap in defence.
9 to instruct blocker runners
10 to pull next available group into position.
Put emphasis on the key skills of taking the ball at pace.
Put emphasis on sympathetic hands
