Community | Passing Wave with Support Runners

Ian Stewart Coach, Ireland

DESCRIPTION

Setup: Scrum half with collection of balls 4 x running channels aligned with a little depth Group of support runners collected beside scrum half e.g. like a just-finished scrum Activity: Scrum half passes to first runner and wave begins as per any other passing wave Two runners from beside scrum half track passing wave in support lines Passing wave carriers work infield passes at different times to support runner/s Support runners accelerate then link back up with outsides

COACHING POINTS

Support Runners: Runners operate as if supporting from set phase or breakdown Infield pass not always necessary, sometimes just ensure one or more support runner tracks all the way to the wing - but if he does, ensure the wing looks infield and finds him with a pass Progression: Add 1 or moredefender or a hit shield to force support runners and nearby runners to "win the contact" and keep the ball alive Encourage runners to avoid the shields / defenders rather than target them with runs. Attack spaces NOT faces.
