GBR 12 Recap

This week we focused on building more offensive structure with the scrum and fly-half to communicate positioning for the forwards and backs. The forwards were able to create pods after a long run from the backs, allowing the backs to adjust for the next phase of the rugby. 

Rugger of the week is Nicholas H. for increasing his rugby skills all over the pitch this weekend with many positive tackles, strong body position in the rucks, and even named forward of the match in our first competition. Robbie S. connected the backs in various backline plays by switching or skipping players in our attack out of a set piece. Makana Thomas supported many forwards pods and found a solid pick’n’jam opportunity for his first try of the season. 

Focus Points this Week

Offense: Passing lines and hands to work on players staying in their lanes.

Defense: Swarm tackling and separating pouching and “Hands in the ruck” penalty.
