Attack wide by holding their midfield defenders to create an extra man on the outside. Ideal from a lineout as well as a scrum, check the detail to make the most of a possible break.
Earn the right to go wide from first phase by holding up their midfield defence. The dummy runners and blindside winger in particular need to time their runs.
From a set piece on one side of the pitch, have a full backline facing a defending flanker, 10, 12, 13 and openside winger.
They will run a drift defence. 9 passes to 10 who goes up and then across.
He passes to 13, missing 12. 12 looks to take the pass, but as soon as he is missed out, he runs forward and through their defensive line to connect with the outside players.
13 takes the miss pass, engages his defender and then passes back and behind 15 to the 14.
15 runs a hard angle in towards their 13 before getting just outside him to block 13 and stop him shifting out on a drift.
14 runs late and then around the back of 15 to take the pass and engage their 14.
He passes out to 11, who has remained wide.
TECHNIQUE
All the players should be in motion to engage their defenders.
Any player who has been “missed” should aim to connect with the break.
In the practice, have a defensive 15 in place to beat in a 2 v 1.
In Hard and Fast with the Miss Pass, we set up a “miss pass” training session. The miss pass is a long pass which skips one player, with the missed player drawing a defender in the process. MORE
Practise your backs moves in a more realistic environment. Identify weak defenders with constraints that will make your attackers want to play down that channel and exploit mismatches. MORE
Expose weak defenders by taking contact. This creates opportunities to isolate them in the defensive line and then attack them through that channel. MORE
Set up a realistic training scenario so your players can practise backs moves like “slice”, where timing, angles and decisions all depend on how the defence sets up and then reacts. MORE
We often need a collective movement in attack to break down a defence, because one player can't do it on their own. Leicester Tigers Junior Academy coach, Tom Brocklebank, discusses why you should think formations, not moves. MORE
When you can’t clear the ball from a ruck quickly, you need to have some easy set-ups so you can restart your attack. Translate these plays effectively from drawing board to training to matches. MORE
