Unit Summary
This unit provides pupils with the knowledge and opportunity to replicate skills in isolation and in performance scenarios in rugby. As a popular team sport offered by many pupils it will cover passing/ receiving, ball handling, tackling, rucking, scrums, line outs, kicking and decision making.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to create try scoring opportunities by moving at pace and supporting the ball carrier from an onside position.
Key Notes
- Move: using a change in direction helps to wrong foot the opposition.
- Move: attackers supporting the ball carrier should run on to the ball at pace from deep.
- Think: timing your support run keeps you onside, prevents forward passes and ensures the best position to attack.
- Feel: individuals need to show determination to get back onside at all times.
- Connect: leadership at the breakdown helps capitalise on opportunities to attack or to deny the opposition's attack.
Vocabulary To Learn
- 'unders' line: a running angle where a player cuts back toward the ball carrier's inside, aiming to exploit gaps
- 'overs' line: a running angle where a player curves away from the ball carrier, aiming to hit the outside space of the defender
- dummy: pretending to pass or kick to deceive the defenders
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Just running a hard straight line is the only way to evade defenders and break the line.
