The continuity from these boys is insane, able to string together long phases of plays without making mistakes

[@TJ20232]

It's all about coaching. I used to play on the best youth team in the UK. We didn't lose for 4 years despite slowly getting entered into bigger and more skilled competitions. Our coaches were great and the players were great. Once you have that balance, you can drill anything in. We played 5-10 phases before a kick. If we didn't make it up the pitch then no point in wasting energy. We were playing rugby without counter rucks until we targeted a weaker player before international teams were doing it. This was about 17-18 years ago
