Upcoming Events

David has organised with Steve Jones of the HKRFU and HKS a coaching session pitched at the Intermediate level for those looking to step up to iRB L2. There is no mandate to continue to L2 and this course can also be used to revalidate past qualifications that may have (or are about to) lapse.

This session will focus of Attack, Defence and the Scrum.

So a reminder, the principles of Attack are:

• to gain possession of the ball
• using the ball to go forward
• with support of or in support of team mates
• to maintain continuity which
• exerts pressure on the opposition resulting in
• points being scored.

While the principles of Defence are:

• contest possession to
• go forward to a pattern
• applying pressure to
• prevent territory being gained
• supported by or in support of team mates to regain possession to
• counter attack.

The aim of the Scrum is to deliver a controlled ball so that the team can select its preferred attacking option and perform it successfully. See here for Law 20 and here for a video.

We start at 6:30pm. Wear sports kit and trainers (or boots), bring fluids and attitude. Questions to David.
