Rugby skills game to mix forwards and backs
Mix the roles of your forwards and backs with the rugby skills game Discomfort Zone.
Sometimes forwards have to find space and backs have to drive through rucks. This rugby coaching game works on those "sometimes" moments. After each go, your backs and forwards can compare notes. They may even listen to each other!
Set up
Players: Three forwards v three backs.
Area: 15m square, with a 5m try line in the middle of one end, and two 5m try lines 5m apart at the other.
Equipment: One ball.
Rugby coaching game notes
- Forwards can only score over the two try lines at the edges, and the backs over the middle try line.
- Throw the ball to either team to start.
- Restart on any infringement. Only the backs are allowed to maul the ball.
Score
One point for a try.
What to call out
- "Backs: leg drive through contact."
- "Forwards: attack spaces."
