What about a crunch with a 2.5 kg plate behind the head?

A great 1st drill but the Defensive players lack linespeed and are getting square on thw middle allowing offensive players advantage line and the ability to step either way.

Thanks you so much for teaching me I'm going to play state level

My man getting his nuts cracked 🤣

Nice jorts 😉

This was awesome. Regards from Oz mate

Except from set play, you are not starting from stationary position and often are retiring before you form your defensive line. This drill only does half the job. An opposed drill from different situations would be far more effective.

Thank u

Tq..

Nice simple drill

Nice drill- players need to carry ball away from the tackler/ contact initiating shoulder to minimise being stripped/ tackler slowing down ball placement and negating quick attack ball.

Thanks for the exercises. I need to try this out.

Americans dont get rugby

Lose the pad for development 👍🏼

I love the Doc’s channel, but a lot of these guys are leading with their forearms, which is a penalty (not in league but in union)

Doc, to be honest yah, I did that move you taught us, guess what?, it didn't work. The time when I try to fend the defender off, the defender just slapped my hand down and tackled me down It didn't work😢

The drill looks interesting. Some things would have to be modified, in my opinion> 1. Attack with more speed. 2. Attackers with more depth. 3. Receivers with different angles of attack. 4. Improve passing skills. 5. First, it would be interesting to start with a 3 vs 3 and then move on to a 3 vs 4 and then vs 5. Or in the 3 vs 3 version, place a 4 player as the second defensive line. Kind regards.

Good stuff.

What does the training the rest of the body look like and what sort of split do you use?

DOC, As of this past 2023 spring, we have been sanctioned heavily for touching the player on the ground with our hands when we've, as you call it 'sealing' that we've freely been able to do the last number of years. Also we received sanctions for shins touching the player on the ground when jackaling. We first experienced this in our first games this year in March 2023 with EPRRS refs. This is due to the Jan 2023 clarifications that includes: 'Off feet: Players are off their feet when any other part of the body is supported by the ground or players on the ground.' Combine that with this, Ruck law 15.12: 'Players must endeavour to remain on their feet throughout the ruck' - So absorbing the first counter while touching the player on the ground seems to no longer fly. A conversation with a EPRRS ref concurred the Jan 2023 Guidelines was the reason for the sanctions. Not that everyone is on the same page (yet), but we had to change technique to save our season and are trying not to look back. Law Application Guideline January 2023 www.world.rugby/the-game/laws/guidelines/25 Players on the ground Players who put their hands on the floor at tackles, rucks and mauls are subject to sanction, although judgement can be used if the player is using the ground briefly to maintain their own balance and stability. Law definitions and relevant clauses Off feet: Players are off their feet when any other part of the body is supported by the ground or players on the ground. On feet: Players are on their feet if no other part of their body is supported by the ground or players on the ground. Tackle law 14.8a Other players must: Remain on their feet and release the ball and the ball-carrier immediately, and 14.8b Remain on their feet when they play the ball. Ruck law 15.12: Players must endeavour to remain on their feet throughout the ruck Maul law 16.9: All other players in a maul must endeavour to stay on their feet Here is the link to the full Law Application Guidelines and their timeline www.world.rugby/the-game/laws/guidelines/26

Do the tacklers always roll negative, regardless of which direction the ball has come from?

Thanks😢

Good drill for my under 12s will give it a go at our next training session

Good drill but some are using the wrong shoulder.

Brilliant video, thank you

No you can't enter a ruck from the side. The gate is at the back. 🇿🇦

Shocking drill, all you have done is make them react to the whistle. They have learn to read the game, instead of the whistle get the players to call up. When they shuffle backwards great them to take wider steps and importantly heads up, involve the ball ie use another to be the opposition half so when hands on move.

Get the lads to work as a defensive line . Get them to observe the players down the line and encourage eachother to get into the defensive line before moving forwards for the next tackle .

Stage 3.. l would have like to see a game that incorporated Stage 1 and 2 (with more emphasis on the Defence tackle than just an 3 v 3 attack/defence run

Great video!! Thanks for sharing with us!

How are You Rugby Doc,so wanted to ask cause i noticed the boys are getting low but looks like they are kinda supporting their knees with the body of the attacker.

Thankyou sir. I will try this for my u18 team

This is good stuff J appreciate it!!

Great job!

Getting older & getting wiser! Train hard. Train smart. Thanks for the tips!

ᑭяỖｍｏ𝓼𝐦 💔

Wow Doc! Great content! Love your channel!

Awesome Footage. Thank you!

Not supporting their weight a lot of the time with the elbows on the deck, so yes, you will be pinged.

Get there hands up and across, also you are one dimensional. Move them to the other side then run through.

at 2:09 into video the chaos progression is added.

🤣

Big lad in the green shirt needs to chase his feet through the contact 😉

thank you for giving us your great experience coach , im learning everyday from your videos , i have no idea what can i do without ur videos , god bless you, appreciate it

thank you for sharing all these informations coach ! keep it up god bless you

The Player was right - the Coach was wrong. Unfortunately this is an example of poor coaching. The comment "But that's what we want to do in the drill" - despite the fact it's illegal & the player raised the fact it's illegal is problematic.

Doc, cheers for the share, great practice drills that are progressed well and are applicable at many levels

In reality after a turnover the attacking line wouldn’t be set. It would still be in defensive mode. You would usually have to have at least one phase before teams could realign, communicate before executing a wide shift. I like the concept of quick turnover into attack but for reality once the tackle was made / turnover completed could you throw in a pick and go with support and then execute the wide shot?

Great video doc. We also use the pass and follow box drill, however when players are going clockwise around the grid we use a left to right pass and also encourage the players run a couple of paces first whilst the receiver also sets off and takes the ball on the move. 👍🏻 I find this is a more natural flow of the arms in the pass.
