Coaching points
- Hip-side leg back. On the whistle, step across his body and get in front of him: ball, then you, then him.
- Win the spot with your body. Hands and stick off him: holding is a flag. Win your wing even when we win the clamp: if their wing gets there first, we still lose it.
- We lose it? Your first sprint is back to the attackmen. That turns their fast break into a 4-on-4 (C.J. Costabile).
- In a scrum, hold 5 to 8 yards off the center X (C.J. Costabile) and keep your spacing: never three of ours on one ball (Brooks Matthews, Gilman).
