THE DEFINITIVE RUGBY COACHING MANUAL.
GET BACK BEHIND THE BALL AND GET BACK QUICKLY!!
So much ball is put behind defenders in the modern game, that getting back to make a contribution is vital. Be it from kicks or basic turn over ball, the reaction of your players has to be immediate! We are talking about “instinct” and a desire to re-engage with the players who are retrieving the ball. This “instinct” can be learned through practices and, when aligned to quickness and agility, can be a formidable counter attack weapon
