Forwards Attack Basics • Positive passing & catching • Hands up, catch with your fingers. • Square up to fix defender and follow through on the pass. • Support the ball carrier by following your pass. • Position • Get into the correct position and keep getting into position. • Stay in your space and make the field big hold your width and depth. • Look to go forward. Run at the weakness. • Possession • Keep possession by beating defenders. Footwork, handoff, leg drive and placement. • Supporters communicate the options- ‘’fight’’ ‘’pop’’ and ‘’down’’ Come through the gate, drive under and past.

Forwards Defence Work hard, Communication, Technique and Aggression Chop legs-Go low. Hit & Stick We want to put the attackers on the floor and take it off them. Tackler plus one-two players attempt the steal or slow possession. If there are two backs in there you need to get the forwards to defend space by hold or fold. Guard, number up and get spacings-first arriving players should guard the ruck. Get the far side first. Short plays off lineout and wide scrums you will need to fold 3+ forwards around. Wider plays the backs will defend the ruck and the forwards will hold. Stay onside & stay on your feet. READY ROLL to get off the line, take the space and pressure the attack.
