Coaching Points
1 v 1 (see previous coaching points)
3 player scrum (see previous coaching points)
Hooker using right foot, weight on left foot, reach out with foot towards entrance to tunnel on your left.
Scrum half will throw ball in using 2 hands at a slight angle (pointing towards his hooker)
Using instep pull ball back through LHP legs. It is not a kick back. Your left leg will be a little further back than your props to allow your right foot to pass it to hook the ball.
Return to the 'square' position as soon as possible.
