Coaching Points

 

  • Ensure all loose forwards are bound onto scrum prior to engagement.
  • The loosehead flanker positions their feet to ensure the ball does not shoot out the side of the scrum.
  • The No 8 should channel the ball to their right. This may involve a change in the No 8’s positioning.
  • Develop delivery options for all circumstances including the scrum being pushed back.
  • For a quicker delivery option, pack No 8 between loosehead flanker and lock. (Not applicable below senior level according to the Domestic Safety Law Variation.)
  • After engaging the No 8 can make this movement as long as they have re-packed prior to the ball being fed into the scrum.
