T1 rugby restarts with lineouts and scrums

Invasion games: problem solving with tactics and strategies through T1 rugby

Unit Summary

This unit challenges pupils to problem solve and make good decisions under pressure in T1 rugby games and scenarios. Pupils will apply more advanced tactics and strategies whilst securing their understanding of the nuances in the laws of the game.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to restart play with a lineout and a scrum.

Key Notes

  • Move: standing in a straight line and timing your jump helps to catch the ball cleanly during a line-out.
  • Move: binding onto the outside shoulder without interlocking heads maintains the legal scrum positioning.
  • Think: scrums and lineouts are uncontested therefore the team throwing the ball in should maintain possession.
  • Feel: working closely in structured restarts builds a sense of trust and teamwork within your group.
  • Connect: clear, confident communication helps coordinate movement in the lineout and timing in the scrum.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • line out: how play is restarted when the ball goes into touch
  • scrum: how play is restarted after a stoppage caused by a minor infringement (forward pass or knock-on)
  • uncontested: both teams take part in the restart but they do not compete for the ball through physical contact

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Pupils think a scrum and line out in T1 rugby are contested and they push to get the ball.

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'line out'

how play is restarted when the ball goes into touch.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: Pupils think a scrum and line out in T1 rugby are contested and they push to get the ball. Correction: T1 rugby is a non contact game therefore the scrum and lineouts are both uncontested. They are used to draw players into an area to create space on the pitch following a restart.
