HOW TO PLAY THE GAME WELL
ATTACK.
1. Straight running. If the attack is to ask questions of the defence and to limit the width of their effectiveness, this is essential – and it’s not common.
2. Catch & pass skills. I look for fluency and calmness, with the ball in front of the receiver. I also look for the receiver’s ability to hit an under’s line to secure the pass, when under pressure from the tackle.
Many coaches get frustrated with their "teenage" players when their performance plateaus off and games they used to win easily are now losses.
John Maxwell, The Randwick coach, told his players, “We want to play adventurous rugby, but it’s got to be responsible rugby”.
So often you see the attacking ball carrier attempt to beat his man on the outside, only to be taken to ground by an upper body tackle.
The main reason for this is that the ball carrier firstly transfers the ball to the side away from the defender, (rightly so) and then almost immediately extends a hand to fend/hand off, or push away the defender.
