Rugby Coaching Drills - 'Duck and Clean' Rucking Technique

A look at various exercises from Rassie Erasmus on improving rucking technique. The 'duck and clean' is about getting under the opposition player to gain control of the breakdown situation. There are a number of ideas you can use from this video, but head to www.rugbycoachingdrills.com for more ideas and complete plans on breakdown skills.

Bloody good video mate. Thanks

Yup... all the intro stuff is illegal. Must not support weight with hands at any time, definitely cannot anchor on a player on the ground.

Jon Butcher you must not have watched any high grade rugby... ever. If a referee calls every single infringement in those areas, it would just completely ruin the flow of the game. also worth mentioning, it's almost impossible for someone to clean out a player with momentum without stabilizing themselves on the ground or grounded player.

@@williepete2727 *The ref won't call blatant laws violations because it would slow the game down* Shitty ref then mate, rules is rules.

What you see at 0:16 is illegal now, and any good referee will penalize you for this particular play for leaving your feet. It's even better showed at 0:23, this position is never allowed in a ruck, this is leaving your feet, don't learn to ruck like this.

The only difference is you should grab the opposition and drive up as soon as you are under them.
