Video Subtitles

He's a great drill for getting the tackler really low, almost horizontal to the floor. Okay. And he's just going to probably not get his feet in as close because you won't be able to get as low as we get slow early, and he just chop tackles there. Good. Drags it back then he does the other shoulder. Good. We're still going to be hitting with a shoulder. Okay, not with our arms. Good? Really good. So that do George. So in you go Pascal because then I don't have to say anything I can check Nice and low pass.

L2 - Penetrating Defence Game

Skill Practice Description • The playing area is marked out in 5m channels. • When defending, players must stay within their channel throughout the game. • The attack must look to penetrate the defence by creating and preserving space. • The defence must use a two handed touch. • There is a 5 tackle turnover rule and once possession is turned over, the defence must get into a channel as the opposition can attack immediately. Key Coaching Points • Support players to hold their opposite number as long as possible before cutting a line to take the pass. • The defender can close the space as far as the edge of their own channel. • If the support player cuts too early or the ball carrier does not move their defender enough, the support player will be touched/tackled. Relevance to the Game • This game will help develop the footwork and running lines to effectively move defenders in order to penetrate the tackle line.
