Rugby: Hit And Roll Ruck Clear Out

• A drill to be completed in pairs.
• One player holding a tackle bag stands in a low, strong position with knees bent.
• The player is standing with one foot either side of a tackle tube on the floor, with their weight forward.
• The other player starts lying on the floor in a half press-up position ready to go.
• The tackler needs to get to their feet quickly, sidestep past the cone on the floor and tackle the player holding the tackle bag.
• Once the player with the tackle bag has been hit, the tackler drives through to clear the opponent out of a ruck.

Place 2 sausages perpendicular from eachother in a T shape. 

Have one player line up a couple meters away from the bag. 

Conditioning drill, the player does reps of clearing the bag, running back to the line, doing a down up and going again. 

• Groups of 10+ 
• Tackle bags 
• Cones

step 1 - players perform a down up - chest to the floor. 

Step 2 - Players make a double shoulder hitbetween 2 bags opposite.

Step 3 - active player moves down the line to hit the next group of 2 bags.

At the end players start again, aim to do 2/3 min sets then swap the bags. 

Groups of 4 and two groups of defenders with contact pads. 1 ball per group.

1. The ball carrier drives into the contact pads and presents ball backwards. Player 2 binds on, face to face and secures ball, player 3 binds on the other side to form a front row.
2. All attackers bind together and drive defenders back 2-3 metres. Player 4 takes ball out at back and runs back around cone with players 1-3 in support.
3. Repeat going back the other way until all attackers have practised each role.
