positional skill - how can i improve a props defence / decision making off the side of a ruck / maul?

David

Some key points for any player defending off the side of a ruck or maul are:

  • Be behind the rearmost foot so you don't give away a penalty
  • Communicate with your team-mates so they know who and where you are covering
  • Stay low so you hit from low to high
  • Ensure you don't leave a gap inside by drifting out

I hope this helps
