Beginner's Guide to Rugby
in PDF.
Basic Principals of Rugby
ATTACK:
The ball carrier should:
•
Look for gaps in the defense and run through them to score
•
If there are no gaps, pass to a team-mate who is in a better position to do this
•
To create space for the team-mate, run straight at a defender so that this player cannot defend the team-mate as well as the ball carrier
•
The supporting player
•
Run close enough to the ball carrier for the ball to be passed accurately.
•
Be able to support on either side – left or right
•
Not run ahead of the ball carrier, as the ball cannot be passed forward
•
Communicate positioning to the ball-carrier
Defense:
•
Look up
•
Build a wall of defense
•
Stay disciplined
•
Attack inside out
•
Get into the attacker’s space
•
Attack the ball
•
Communicate
