Head behind squeeze and drive from the shoulders. It's gonna look something like this. Okay and never when he's down in a while. We do another getting minute once he's gone down. He's just going to put the ball down. So we look once more now. So I'm nice and close to my knees. I've cited where I'm going it's bang and then we'll just puts the ball down fine. Don't worry about the direction for a minute. This time I'm going to be moving. All right you all doing well about where to get your head. Some of you aren't holding on long enough and one or two. When you going down with the ball the doing that I don't want you to do that. When you go down let your back take it and then place it but this time there's a directions I'm going that way Neville is going to tackle me. Okay, and watch what I do with the ball it comes in with a tackle. Okay, and I've gone round the back of him and place the ball. You see that it's a good tackle by him. I'm not just gonna die with it. I landed on my back and put it ready for someone else to play with right. So tackle him to win or get him out the grid. Let's watch him go. Okay taku in Zod lock good stuff. So that's one Edge. That's the other Edge you're trying to shuffle and score a try if you tackle you join them ready? Let's go. That was going to tackle me again. I'm Stood Still this time. So you've already told me really successfully where you going to put his head behind cheek to cheek. What's he going to hit me with shoulder. So in this case if I'm coming this way, is it going to be that shoulder nobody that one and it's going to hold on. Yeah, so okay. Watch what I do and see if I can manage to do my body first then the ball. Here we go now. I put my hand out to stop me now. I landed on the back and then I place the ball. Good stuff. Okay, we're going to get in a either a Sprint start or a squat to get in the right position. He's still only Stood Still. Alright, so I'm going to aim to hit him and imagine I'm coming out the other side. We've already done the three things. I'm going to follow the tackle this time and Neville knows what he's trying to do is thinking about getting this landing on the patches on the big bits and then making the ball available for somebody else to start for me right now. Okay. So every time you want to go down let go of the ball pick up stand back up again. We're going to time how long it takes him to do five. Steady go down up both of you down and up do it again to lie down and up. You watch freeze head in the grip and the follow through and everything. Not such a good tackle last one. Okay. Alright 17 seconds was Folly falling over from in the end. You were a bit weren't you? He's going that way he can only walk I can only walk right and notice we've set it up. So it's going to be a side tackle Okay, so we've got everything in our mind and now we're just getting a bit quicker. So that's going to This guy is cool. Jailbreak Reds when I say go you're gonna what walk clockwise that way right and blacks. You've got to keep at least arm's length of gonna walk the other direction anti-clockwise. Okay, and you keep walking until I shout jailbreak and when I shout jailbreak you read I've got to find out the square and score a try to come out this way. You can go out. That way. You can go out that way or you can go out that way. You got a tackle and to stop them keep your spaces arm's length you cheat in keep your space is jailbreak. one school you try Red 2 3 4 six chord swap over Clinton tackle you so you jogging bit quicker now? Okay fine. Now if you carry in the ball, do you let them tackle you I'm thinking about getting beyond their right? So that white walk jog doesn't work. So you both going to jog have another go so both of you jog, let's watch him. Yet you fell over for him though. Here we go, then job joke. Good stuff. Great. Perfect Ready Steady go. Swap over. Why did it go wrong? Do you think exactly he committed himself to early? He's on his knees when he tried to tackle Ready Steady go. Okay, the other thing the guy who's come around here. What are they done both time? I've got around the corner and waited to even if they do tackle him they'll score when they fall over. So if I were then I'll get round the corner and get out early now watch my body by stand upright. They've won already because one change of direction. I've lost if I stay low they're already think it up to think about getting around the corner early and low and eat the space. I'm gonna let you cheat a bit you can start on the cone go go. Perfect great stuff and look we made it that time. Look where you are now. Yeah brilliant.
