Rugby 1-3-3-1 Shape Explained

[@seanyshepfit]

Yes Pete! Structure is meant to guide not restrict. Play what's in front of you and when things get messy fall back to your shape to reorganise and reset. Late here but great breakdown

[@rugbybricks]

Exactly! Thanks! PB

[@danjones833]

love this Pete, I find coaches can bounce from one attacking shape to another but little details like adding a winger on the inside of ten to hold defenders. or giving forwards the freedom to look to play the offload can add so much more. great video keep up the great work. from a young coach in wales!

[@rugbybricks]

Thanks! 100% little details and changes are all thats needed to manipulate a defence. Appreciate the message. Pete

[@dudleymennie733]

Thanks

[@rugbybricks]

Unreal! You are the first person to ever do this, Amazing. Thank you, Pete

Hi Pete! great easy to understand explanation of 1331. would it be possible to go a step further..... after a couple of phases using the pods from one side of the pitch to the other, could you explain where and how players ( the pods ) should go to their next positions on the field for a return passage of play assuming we will use the 1331 pods again. I find my players are getting a bit lost or are over committing where they shouldn't be! Thanks, love your work, very insightful. Rob.

[@rugbybricks]

Appreciate the kind words Rob and yes can always expand on shape and structure. Pete

[@emanuelabaula]

Thanks for this video, great explanations and yes I had the same question about the circulation of the pods.

Thank you for this video it’s great. Could you do a video on rugby terms and what they mean for example what inside to outside means and all the other ones so I can share it with my under 14s as a quiz please thank you.

[@rugbybricks]

Great Idea Milton!

[@michaeldavies5840]

Great video, graphics made it very understandable. Any tips/videos on how to transition to this after a set piece?

[@Eugenevj]

I also like to know

[@DannyBrah272]

Love this!

[@rugbybricks]

Thanks, what shape do you play in?

[@ConfusedCityMap-lm1ok]

Thank u so much

[@rugbybricks]

Pleased you enjoyed it!

[@MegaTkls]

Hi Pete. Just a question regarding forwards positioning from strike plays and into attack maps. Would you just have any forward in a different position depending on the strike/attack map you’re using or would immediately get them to change into whichever role is best for the team? Thanks

[@NickHill-x8o]

What variety of drills can you use to develop the pod system with 17 and 18 year olds?

[@richardworley7798]

How do you transition to this from set plays?

[@rugbybricks]

"Get to an edge" then fall in to shape. PB

[@mulindwanelson1524]

Thank you so much ❤

[@michaelpope5180]

Great video. Can I ask how explicit you are regarding the pods of 3 please? I imagine you’ve allocated those particular forwards based on their strengths, however, what happens for example off line out when the lifting pod contains different numbers to those prescribed. Would you be happy for them to stay in the 3 from lineout or would you expect them to swap during phase play? Thanks

[@Matikemai2040]

Pods are based off the set piece. For example when we have a scrum midfield the front row become one pod and the locks + loosie are another pod. One loosie goes to the breakdown and the last one left migrates to the otherside of the field.

[@noelortega1775]

After the 11/6 going looking for work, what would be a good indicator to go back to the outside channel?

[@rugbybricks]

100% Im all about strength in numbers and getting on the attack wave. Inside balls, support lines, get busy. Pete

[@drhs2534]

Anything on 242 Pete?

[@rugbybricks]

I knew this question was coming! YES! Will start putting together something.

[@drhs2534]

@@rugbybricks great stuff! Love what you’re doing.
