Tackling Defence vs Attack (Out of the Box)

I am so pleased with all of the drills and advice on rugby. I am a...
Mokie, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

This is primarily a defensive drill but can be fun for the attackers.

Red and Blue teams in a box behind their respective trylines.

Red ball carrier told to exit Left or Right over Blue Red or Green cone (they decide direction). Team mates form attacking line

As Red team enters the grid, Blue leaves its box and forms a defensive line. 

 

COACHING POINTS

This is about forcing a tackle.

Defence spreading and forming a D line. Pressurising ball carrier. 

At full pace BUT with narrow and short pitch.

 

For a conditioned game. You can lenghten and widen the pitch. Intrduce three/five tackle turnover or rucks.

BUT this is mainly a defensive drill so reward tacklers
