3D square attack and pluses

Keep the players thinking about where to attack as the defence move around dynamically, adding in players as the attack becomes more successful.

The challenge is to keep scoring as the pressure builds.

Put five attackers in the middle of the box.

Put three defenders around the edges, and two about 5m from the outside. The defenders inside can move anywhere but are not allowed to intercept the ball.

The attackers can pass and run in any direction. They score on the outside of the box. If they do, they pass back into the middle.

Every time the attackers score, another defender enters the box.

If a defender touches an attacker within two steps of the try line, the attacker has to pass back into the middlebox. The defender cannot make touches inside the middlebox.

Give the attack one minute to score three times.

THINKING

Defenders can only be effective on the edges of the box. Do they step through the box to cover, or stay around the edges? Do they follow the ball?

Attackers need to keep the ball moving quickly. Do they do this with passes, pass and move or just movement?
