1. This game is about support and ensuring that support is close to the ball carrier.
2. This is a non contact game.
3. When the ball carrier is touch, they must stop and set the ball down.
4. Two attacking player must touch the ball carrier within 3 second.
5. If they make their target - any of the two supporting players can move the ball to continue the attack.
6. If the ball carrier is not touch by two other attacking players within 3 seconds - then the ball is turned over.
7. There is no set number of touches.
8. The ball will be turned over when the attacking team makes a mistake or do not meet their support target.
9. The defence must act within the laws of the game.

Tell your players the following......

1. On the 4 players side, they will go 2 at a time in attack - the balls should be with these players. They will advance around the lower part of the training area.
2. On the 6 players side, they will go 3 at a time in order to provide 3 defenders, one will advance to the 7 meter marker, the second will go to the 14 meter marker, and the last will stay at the back of the grid. They will advance around the top part of the training area.
3. The attacking players will now face three 2 v 1 situations.
4. Once the attack finishes the two attacking players return to their starting position, the next two attackers go. At the same time the next three defenders go, while the last three defenders return to their starting position.

• Don't forget to give every player a chance in attack and defence.

Start with 2 players on the centre cone, each with a ball, and facing each other.

1. On the shout "GO", they both run backwards to the first cone
2. They then side step up the grid to the second cone
3. Next players run through the slalom cones back to the start where the ball is passed to the next players
4. Next players can only go when each player has received a ball (to ensure each race is fair).

Four players per group inside a 10m x 30m Channel. Requires 10 cones and 1 ball.

Two players start outside of the grid with two players inside. One of the outside players passes the ball to one of the inside players before both of the outside players (defenders) run through the red gates.

The two inside players (attackers) have to try and cross the try line before the defenders can tackle them, if the attackers are too slow they will create a two 2 v 1 situation.
