For me the contact area is such an important aspect of the game. It is an area which we make sure practice at every training, both with forwards and the backs. In this module I will take you through ball presentation, followed by the role of the second player securing the ball. There are many contact drills you can apply, but as you will see the key is to be nice and strong over the ball, getting your head up and to maintain a wide base.
