Conditioned game focused of forcing the tackle and playing through rucks.
In this conditioned game a narrow pitch will be used reducing the space and forcing the tackles 7m x 10m (approximately). Ideally the game will be even sided (8 vs 8) but depending on number there could be an overloaded team e.g. 8 vs 6. This will force the team with 6 players to work off the ball once being in a ruck to get back to their defensive line.
