Session Plan - Lineout Fundamentals - HS and A with The Rugby Site
Where do you start with your lineout after a long layoff? We have compiled a session plan with help from champion Crusaders forward coach Jase Ryan, champion Kobelco Steelers lineout coach Andries Bekker plus ex Springbok and champion lineout forward Victor Matfield. The session starts with a series of primers from Jase and Andries then Victor details the lineout execution. Practice the Micro skills before the start of the unit training.
