L2 - Decision-making Development

Skill Practice Description • The coach kicks the ball out to the waiting attackers from under the posts. • The coach calls out a number of defenders to defend (4 in the example). • This number can change depending on ability. • The attacking team need to catch the ball and attempt to score on the try line without being touched (more than 1 touch can be allowed depending on ability) • Dropping the ball or being touched in possession results in a fail and all attackers must return to the 10m line before starting again. • The drill can be used as a competition by allowing each team a specified number of attempts before swapping the sides, the team scoring the most tries wins. Key Coaching Points • Being aware of the space between attack and defence • Using depth and not attacking in a flat line • The need to create 3v2’s and the ultimate goal of creating 2v1’s. Relevance to the Game • Attacking a broken field. • Collecting a lose kick and counter attacking with an assessment of the • opportunities presented. • Appropriate selection of pass i.e. long or short

I'll shout a number and that's the number of Defenders that comes out you guys going to try and score a first phase if there is a tackle, which is a 200 touch we go down long place the ball scrum off comes in and passes the ball away and we try and score off the next phase. Whoever makes the tackle has to go down on one knee and stay there until the balls in play by the scrum off. Okay. Ready? five finish it off. Good. So as the attack here once a bull's kit, we've got additional numbers. So what is it? We're trying to manufacture in order to enable us to stand out of the school. Yeah, we're trying to keep the space, but we're trying to manufacture an overlap. So three V2 to V1 situation. What? When you're ready. four Bayan oh good. Try. Well execute 3 2 1
