Hi Derek, of course you can. What's your question? I'm happy to help!

Hi Mark, a great start is introducing players by splitting the field into 3 zones & playing "Zone Touch", where you can not be tagged in the same zone twice in a a row or else it's a turnover. From there, you can run shadow & tell players what channel they're in to start & let them run through the motions as a full 15. After they have the larger structure ingrained in their mind's, you can put into place specifics about the picture you want to present the defense. I hope this helps!

Great question. I need to review more but my initial thoughts was just that, is this naturally flowing rugby?

and more 1331 haha

Hi Matt, don't worry its coming soon!

Hi Michael, I would use the the 2's in the middle of the field with a back behind as a Blocker option. Are you familiar with that? You should be able to generate quick ball. Attack direct and flat with your forwards off 9 & 10 with an out the back option behind, then you will keep the momentum in your favor. I'm also a fan of a sequence move, like 2-1 (meaning you will attack twice in the same direction, then come back to the weak side once) Where 9 or 10 will make the call while in the 15 meter channel and the entire team knows what's going to happen. This is also very useful off of Set Piece!

Hi Jacob, that depends on how you want your players to play. Some coaches prefer to provide this outline for players to work out of throughout the entire match, giving the players 4 or 5 options on their "Menu" at any time to choose from. Other coaches will provide more freedom and flexibility to their players. It's all about you as the coach evaluating your players and their strengths

Hi Adrian, I can take a look into it yes! Would you like post World Cup Analysis? Hope you enjoy the content!

@@rugbyiq1576 Yes, it would be great! I like their current style of playing but I cant quite understand it by myself.

Hi Palo, I put together a "Defense- Core Principles" video that I think you'll really enjoy! Please check it out on my channel and let me know what you think! Hope you're enjoying the content!

Hi Palo! We actually have one already on the 1-3-3-1 system! If you go into my videos it's there!

@@rugbyiq1576 thanks I will look them I like your vids

Hi Pucara, 15 or 10 (if he intentionally wannts to swing it) can make the call. Typically the Decision Maker behind the forwards makes the call. Hope this helps!

Hi Pucara, that can depend on how your Team Leadership is organized. Some teams prefer to have only 9,10 making calls, some say anyone can make a call. What I have found success in is nominating 5-6 "Leads" (players that have high skill & RugbyIQ) each season. These players are spread across the pitch to help make calls. Once a Lead makes a call, that is the option we run with. If however the 10 makes a call, that call overrides all other calls. Hope this helps!

Hi Matt, Yes definitely! Hope you've enjoyed the videos!

Hi Iza! I will try as soon as possible! Thank you for the comment!

Hi Iza! Want to make sure you were aware I released a series on the 1-3-3-1. I also have another video coming soon on Defense! Hope you enjoy!

Hi Geraint, great question! I will try and make a video explaining it in the next week. For the large part, the Forward numbers are interchangeable. You can have any forwards wide/in the center. I've seen some teams play with props out wide to clean up rucks for fast ball and run heavy crash lines against often smaller backs.. It's actually very effective if used correctly.

@@rugbyiq1576Thanks, What i meant was if it started with a lineout on left touchline your 8 and 7 would probably aim to hit the first breakdown (particularly if wider than 12) and then drift after that breakdown to their position on the right. Your two would be a natural player to leave on the left and a 6 is often used but you could use anyone i suppose. Great videos by the way! there is very little information on this kind of thing. I have coached a senior team using a 1 3 3 1 formation which worked but my knowledge base was limited as the information was not that easy to get. For example, i never set any system up inside my own 10-yard line as the more conservative nature of my objectives came into play. I had to fill in the gaps regards to the transition from attack to defence etc These videos are the kind of thing that increases knowledge base.
