Brian’s Coaching Tip No.7

Hi guys,
Tip for this month is simple ‘Go Forward’.

When playing tag rugby always remember that the best way to play is forward! A quick sprint or run towards the try line,even if an odd time you need to play selfish.
Reversing with possession is a big mistake, the idea is to gain ground not lose it.
Once your tag is taken get back on the ball immediately. Next move get quick ball out to the rest of the team and it’s particularly good to get the ball out wide, so see if you can create some space(avoid going sideways having possession).
Keep eyes up going forward and maximize on your use of 6 tackles. Ideally use 1-3 tackles to advance forward then maybe use the quick ball for 4-6 going forward and wide.
