Counter Ruck Unit

Setup

Tackle bags in a line with cones creating running routes around them, one ball, two teams of three lying face-down behind the bags.

How to run it

1. On the whistle both teams move to contest the ruck.
2. The blue team goes straight over the bag, but only the first red player may go straight - the other two must run around the cones first, which deliberately puts red at a positional disadvantage they have to overcome with technique and unit drive.
3. Drive low to high, focusing on driving the opposition through and past the ruck, and nominate one caller so the counter goes as a unit rather than as individuals.
4. Six contests per side per round, 4 rounds, swapping which team is disadvantaged.
