Ready to tackle rugby warm up drill
So you've got your players rugby tackling in their rugby training sessions and they're ready for the match. Use this rugby warm-up drill to make sure they're alert and fully prepared for the game and the tackles they are about to play.
Rugby drill set up
Four players stand five metres from a line of four players, facing each other. On a signal from the coach (normally touching a ball on the floor) the first four come forward to meet second four. They then:
- Bump shoulders.
- Grab and drive.
- Tackle to the ground.
- Carrying a ball, they are tackled to the ground, get up, then compete for the ball.
Remember to change shoulders and switch round the two teams.
