Improve the pass from the base of a scrum or ruck by helping your players understand that the pass goes in front of the receiver. The key is that the passer’s target is not a physical one.
All your players should be competent at the clearing pass from a set piece or phase play. However, you will probably spend most of your time working on this pass with your scrum half. Indeed, the long spin pass off both hands is an essential component for any scrum half.
Because it’s a long pass the target is not the starting position of the receiver but a point in space where the receiver will be in the time it takes the ball to reach them.
