Pete asked that the children watch these highlights of the RWC2015 final, particularly the first minute of the video. Watch the first try from the All Blacks - this is exactly what the coaches were doing with the 3 v 2 drills in channels last weekend.

The offload in try 2 shows again that passing into a player with space is more important than taking the tackle and going to ground. Also notice the side step (from our 3 v 2 drill!)

Try 3... we don't do in U9 rugby....

Try 4 is a great offload followed by running at 45 degrees from the side line, again, what he coaches are showing them with the channel down the side and the 2 v 1 game.
