Training

This is usually used when the attacking team is in their half and need to get out of it and gain territory. Method: - You start with a ball carrier, a dummy half and a support. - The carrier intentionally gets touched targeting a middle on their outside. - The dummy half passes to the support who should be already accelerating. - The support becomes the carry and targets the same defender (who's trying to get back onside) - The last carrier becomes dummy-half, and the previous dummy-half becomes the next support runner. - Repeat this alternating sides. The main things to focus on: 1. Go forward 2. Ensure clean roll ball 3. Continuity (Carry -> Rollball -> Support -> Carry) This can be performed with 2-4 players. Try to keep to 3-4 touches maximum so you have 2-3 touches to attack with!

In this photo we have the positions of the players in Touch rugby. It's a 6-a-side game with number based positions. The wings are on the outside, the two middles are in the middle, and the links are in-between those two. We use numbers to name each position because it makes it easier to name plays. The wings are position “1”, links are “2”, middles are “3”.

In this short video, we go over a simple yet effective move called the 32 Sweep / Loop. It begins with a 33 rollball on the opposition 7m line, followed by a quick pop pass to a sweeping 2 from right to left or vice versa. Ends with the 2 either diving for the line or making a pass depending on the speed of the defence.
