📒 "Rugby - Backs Moves" is a collection of moves or "plays" which
any group of backs in a rugby team can use during a match. The
book is intended to be something which anyone who coaches
senior or junior rugby, at rugby clubs or in schools, can use to
develop their team's back play. The book is an ideal companion
for use on the training ground or in team meetings.
Each move is described on two adjacent pages, which appear
side by side as you open out the book. For each move, the book
identifies the area of the opposition's defensive alignment on
which the attack is focused and the lines of running for each
player involved in the move.
The book also identifies from which side of the pitch any move
can be used and whether it works from a scrum, a line-out
or from other phases of play. Variations on individual moves
are explained, with cross-references included to where the
variations are described elsewhere in the book. For each move,
the book also contains a "Key Points" narrative, with tips on
how best to make the move work and points to look out for in
running the move.
The moves are illustrated with easy to understand diagrams
and space is provided for coaches to jot down any thoughts
that spring to mind as they try out the moves during practice
or match play.
The book includes various indexed lists, which enable the
reader to find particular types of move, such as moves to run
from the left or right side of the pitch, from a scrum or line-out
or through a particular channel in the opposition's defence.
