ABC defence

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

DESCRIPTION

Given a breakdown attack is already set

Defence run around the corner and set up:

-A blind

-A

-B

and any additional defender takes B's position and pushes him sideway to become C etc.

VARIATIONS:

-Coaches can condition the number of defenders

-Add 3 cloured markers as breakdowns

-Play the breakdown to start

-Go on for 2 or more phases

COACHING POINTS

A defends on 9 and picks

B defends on 10 and inside plays

-All players must keep they eyes up and mark their men

-COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY (A calls "hold" "up" and anyone else is just looking forward)

-B must not move until next defender comes
