Walking maul 3v2

How it works

1. Three attackers form a maul around the ball carrier, as in Maul body position.
2. Two defenders, on their feet, try to stop it moving. Everyone walks. No pulling down, no twisting.
3. After 5 seconds the coach calls “use it” and the ball comes back. Rotate roles.

Coaching points

• Walking pace only.
• Stop straight away if anyone goes to ground or gets twisted.
• Pair by size. Big players with big players.

Ready for the next level when: Mauls move forward on their feet and the ball comes back cleanly, with no one going to ground.
