Course contents
To start the session S&C specialist Paul Bunce, with Haagsche Rugby Club, players details the key elements to speed and agility development. Remember – Your toe is an accelerator and heel is a brake. Toes pointing up and be bouncy, Big steps work and Step powerfully and aggressively.
First build your ‘Runner Call’ system as IRANZ’s skills coach Dave Ellis does with his players. This will enable them to target and exploit space in the opposing defences. Keep the calls simple for all players to understand. Give players shapes to run into space. Time your run. Too early and you’ve lost the move.
Catch and pass alignment is the theme of Clark Laidlaw, ex London Irish assistant coaches session. Clark identifies the key elements – alignment speed and staying square.
Progressing Dave uses the Goal Posts to great effect as he continues the Attack Alignment as he progresses Clark’s catch pass alignment building Attack patterns and shapes.
Dave, details how to straighten your attack, hold the defence and create space against a Goal Post defence.

Finish the session and have some fun with Centurion All Black, Mils Muliaina building a Run, Catch and Pass structure. Building on the runner calls and attack alignment, identifying which players are where and who makes what decision to run or pass or catch? Where is the space? Do I commit to the contact, if so who clears out? Or should we pass out the back? So many decisons to be made and so little time it seems.
