Rugby coaching London Irish video to develop offloading skills

This rugby coaching video clip shows a training drill from the London Irish in which the ball carrier aims to dominate the defender by fending and offloading. The defender in the drill looks to put pressure on the attacker by getting their hands on the ball and preventing the offload. This rugby drill can be progressed with the addition of a second defender. When the ball carrier engages the defender, the second attacker and defender look to work themselves into a position to receive or block the offload.
