This session plan is all about Scrum fundamentals. Introducing players to the fundamentals of safe scrummaging.
Developing the right technique throughout the scrum not just the front row.
Highly successful Front Row Club Founder and Crusaders forwards coach Jase Ryan details each part of the scrum setup.
Then London Irish's Richard Pryor provides some excellent exercises for the forwards to execute their scrummaging skills.
Jase's session uses scrum sleds but these can be replaced by players as Richard points out in his session. However, safety is paramount at all times during these contact sessions.
