SIMPLE BASIC PLAYS NEEDING EMPHASIS
1 Stay on your feet. Why dive? Stay on your feet?
2. Keep the ball off the ground. Balls on the ground get lost.
3. Pass the ball. Passing scores tries.
4. Tackle low. With high tackles, opponents keep gaining ground!
5. Don’t kick the ball away. Possession is 9/10ths of the game!
6. Run straight. Pushing your wing into touch, helps nobody.
The most basic rule:- DON’T BARGE – PASS!
