We can learn a lot from this video

This is for all the rugby players at NIS (and their moms and dads!)

Watch the video carefully and think hard about what you are seeing.

1. Attackers and defenders moving with their team mates in lines.

2. The defending team moving backwards 5 metres after every 'touch'- and they keep their position across the field.

3. The teams ALWAYS face each other- they NEVER turn their backs.

4. The SPEED of the game is controlled- the attacking team moves forward in a series of moves, looking for a chance to break through.

5. LOTS of passing, long and short.

6. The fastest players work with their slower team mates instead of just running all over the field.

7. No time-wasting by running past the place where they were touched. The game FLOWS and has RHYTHM.
