Rugby Coaching Notes: Ball Retention

16a.gif The most basic injunction in ball retention is, “Never to let an opposition player touch the ball.” This may seem utterly obvious and, I have to admit, somewhat simplistic but it is apparently often forgotten. How often we have seen the ball literally taken away from a player who isn’t concentrating. I could even be persuaded that in one-on-one contacts the defender may very well have the advantage — i.e. it’s easier to dispossess the ball carrier than it is for the ball carrier to retain possession. Don’t let it happen.
