2. Develop your team’s attacking abilities Part 4 The main purpose why a rugby team attacks is to score and this can mainly be achieved by: Getting over the advantage line and plays from there Creating confusion in the defensive lines, which in turn will create gaps to run through. Stopping drifting defenders to create space on the outside. For our coaches to be successful in the executing of the above they need: Modern rugby running lines. Modern rugby moves. In amateur rugby there are two distinct groups of coaches when it come to moves. One group that have no or very little moves in their game plan and the other group that have so many moves that their players are so confused that they seldom do any moves. I am going to use my experience of modern rugby to give our coaches only moves that work against modern defenses and I shall also limit these moves so that they can be thoroughly practiced in the limited time our coaches have, and can easily be called in matches. 1) Modern running lines 2) Modern rugby moves We look at the four more popular modern running lines and running line drills.
