Step 3 introducing the 1v1 scrum the third step in the Tactical program is the introduction of a 1v1 scrum type situation involving minimal contact using just the arms players grasp. Each other's outside shoulders only and the ball is placed on the ground between them by the coach. The players must use their legs to kick it back to a teammate to win possession. This begins to simulate the Tactical nature of a scrum restart using a method that is simple and safe to implement. Okay, we're going to do something slightly different. So let's get one on one hand on each other shoulders nice strong push up position. Okay, you have both feet square both feet square now in a strong position position. Is that the strongest pushing position getting go down a little bit lower can't we good? Laughs Well Done Right your feet must be square to Isabel goes on the ground. You can win it by using your feet and you can you can only use your hands to push can't use your shoulders. typo analysis introducing the 1v1 scrum players now compete for the ball in a 1v1 condition scrum uncontested at under nine players use their arms and shoulders to create a safe and controlled environment in which to compete. Only the concept of the scrum is introduced at this stage technique is yet to be introduced and all the players should have a go. The coach should use the nearest two players as soon as player start contesting for the ball their body height in the scrum begins to take a more effective shape in order to compete the basic body shape for the scrum is emerging as a result of the players competing in this framework, although no coaching of this has taken place. The increase space between players may result in a greater number of handling errors, but this should be seen as part of the learning curve and not necessarily a reason to stop the game.
