rugby move

Question
Could you please give me any information about some good rugby moves. I will appreciate links as well. Iv already looked on www.tacticks.com. but they don't have a lot moves for the line outs and scrums. I would like to have some links or any information of moves the forwards can try from the line outs and scrums. Thanks

Hi Jaco,

Forward Drive: Your forwards are the best way to create gaps. Use them to run at your opponents defenders forcing them to tackle and go to ground. Your players will get up at the end of your turn, your opponents will only get up at the end of theirs and that means that he will have fewer players to use in his turn!

Break The Advantage Line: The only way to really put pressure on your opponent is to break the advantage line. Every turn you must make sure that your team are moving the ball forward and past it's last position! Try to get behind your opponents defence and set up a Ruck. This forces them to turn and fall back. Remember players ahead of the ruck are considered off-side and are in effect useless to defend, so the more you force your team behind the defenders the more pressure you put on your opponents defence!

Using the width: moving the ball through the hands and from one side of the field to another is a great way to disrupt your opponents defense and potential counter attacking moves. Try hitting him on one side of the field in one turn and then spread the ball wide and hit him on the other side. While he's busy reshuffling his defense to react to your attacks their is a good chance good gaps will appear.

Mixing it up!: Your forwards can be a huge advantage in your backline attack. Try to get one or two forwards involved in a backline attack. Use them to support you backline runners as their ability to ruck means they can protect the ball if you fail a gather.

Game Breakers: Teams need to disorganise defences before they can expect to use the game breakers to the best effect. This means probing defences with big runners, or stretching defences by playing the ball wide. However, the best piece of advice is to keep the backs on their feet and more essentially the game breakers.

Don抰 let them go into rucks and mauls or take up crash balls. Let players work off them until the chances appear.


Hope that helps!
