Scrum restart touch

How it works

  1. A touch game. Every time the ball is dropped or goes out, restart with an unopposed scrum.
  2. The team with the ball sets up their scrum shape and backs line up. The other team stands back 5 metres.
  3. Play on from the scrum. Count how quickly a team gets set.

Coaching points

  • Speed and safety: set quickly, but bind properly.
  • Backs in their spots before the ball goes in.
  • Unopposed. No pushing.

Ready for the next level when: Teams set up a scrum and play from it quickly without help.
