Rugby IQ Drill #1 www.rugbyiq.com

Aim:

To develop rugby specific fitness and ball skills.

Description:

Place 1 tackle bag on each corner of the channel and a contact shield 10m down the channel in the middle. Place a ball at the top of the channel in the middle. 4 players working in pairs start at the top of channel. The rest of the players are split into 2 groups on either side of the channel 10m down. Drill starts with the 2 players at the top making a tackle on the bags and getting up picking up the ball and attacking down the channel. At the same time this happens 1 player from the side drives the shield out of the channel and defends the 2 coming down in a 2v1. Once he has been beaten he turns to join the other 2 attacking down. Simultaneously another 2 players have run down the side of the channel,tackled the bags and are coming up the channel to defend in a 3v2.



Coaching Tips:

Support from depth and keep the ball in the middle to create left and right attacking options.

[rugbyiq]

@mattorpaul makes a team of 15 all work at once. looks allot harder than it really is. make the players walk through it a few times and they will get it.

Great drill. All that is needed the whole team on board is 1.Take time to explain it.2. Walk it through with the players. 3 Split the exercise down into 3/4 blocks so they see the various parts and can relate to what you tell them.4 repeat ,repeat,repeat. Players are not stupid.........if you exclude the front row that is... :) joking. Did this exercise with colts under 16's 14's .

Good drill but too much chaos!! Imagine teaching this to n e 1. It will take most of the training. Keep it simple.
