Description - Players are to stand in groups of 3 with 1 student acting as the

opponent, the ball carrier and an acting half
- The two ‘attacking’ players alternatively roll ball and act as
acting half while the other player acts as the defender and
progressively moves backwards across
- Once the group reaches the other side, change positions and
repeat the actions
- The objective is for the player in possession to either be
touched and effect a touch before performing roll ball
- The acting half, once in position possession moves around in
front of the player who completed the roll ball and so on

slow jog, half pace and then full pace.
Variations Progression:
- Change the speed. Start the drill at a slow walk and build way
up to full paced
- Increase the distance
- Add in defenders
