Going into contact

Move: driving your body weight up and under an opponent forces them backwards, stopping their attacking momentum. Move: additional attackers and defenders at the breakdown enter from behind the backfoot of the last player and bind on. Think: joining a ruck or maul must be done from the back foot to be onside. Feel: confidence to initiate contact comes from repeated execution with the correct technique. Connect: supporting less confident classmates to execute successful tackles in practice conditions shows kindness.
