5. Have 3 players as defenders on white cones and an attacker on blue cone with a ball, standing with back to drill.
6. Coach then points to which person will be making the tackle, the defender can not leave cone until attacker starts running but all most look like they will make the tackle.
7. On the word go attacker turns and runs as quick as possible to the try zone.
