Key rugby coaching tip for rucking skills
What you tell your players the rugby coaching session is about
What to think about in the drill
Picking threats. Rucking grids highlight the problems of getting into a good body position before the ruck. They also show that players need to make a difference when they arrive at the ruck. To do this, they need to identify which players are the threats and target them to drive out.
Staying on the feet. A current focus of referees is ensuring players stay on their feet. Watch this carefully in the rugby coaching drills. There is a trade-off between generating power before the "hit" and maintaining balance. This practice should help players understand their limitations.
