Our backs and forwards don't link up
Forwards and backs play two separate games
Why it happens
- Forwards and backs train separately.
- Nobody has shown how they connect after a ruck.
- Players don't know where support is needed.
What to say
✓ Say this
- “Forwards, get round the corner. Backs, stay wide.”
- “Talk to each other.”
- “Great link play!”
✗ Not this
- “Forwards don't pass.”
- Always training forwards and backs separately.
- Shouting positions mid-game.
