Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

  • yellow player will hide behind the tackle bags as the defence(red players) await the direction of attack
  • if the yellow player attacks the left hand side the 2 defenders will prevent the players(inlcuding the 2 blue players who are support players to score or go beyond the advantage line)
  • the closest red player must join the defence as the third defender so it can be 3 vs 3
  • the same applies if the yellow players attacks the right hand side

COACHING POINTS

  • communication
  • reaction to attack
  • reaction of third defender
  • shifting on defence rather than shooting
  • tackling 
  • general postion on defence
