I hate the lateral play, and as a former RU player turned junior coach, when you see the opposition is going lateral it says to me that they are out of ideas, low on confidence, poorly coached and as a result the rest of that team are going to have to bust a gut getting the even get to the gain line. In League, I find this amazing that attacking teams still crab as they have so much more space in run into after a completed tackle.
I am now a RU coach for juniors, and I have a World Rugby Level 2.
My 10 year olds even know that when in unstructured attack 1. Claim the Space, you run direct you are going to take 1,2 even 3 players with you 2. Hit the ball at Pace. there is a time and place for throwing it down the line, but never adopt a mindset of passing down the line to get around the opposition defensive line. 3. Always Advance, never sideways. A exercise I do with my boys and girls in a end of session training match is if I see any signs of crabbing, I blow the whistle, and throw the other ball to the defending team.
Build your training exercises around those basic principles. Seriously guys, it is not that hard.
Fancy being one of the "lost at sea" Assistant Coaches?

Interesting, there was a try in the Bulldogs vs Warriors NRL game on the weekend that came about from pretty much this approach. From a set play as opposed to unbroken, but the Bulldogs kicked touch in goal and from the restart the Warriors just burnt them straight through the middle. It was like watching your under 10s no doubt!

Your right, the same principles of Space - Pace - Advance apply to structured and unstructured play.
I will watch the Bulldogs Warriors on a stream this evening, sound like the Warriors have a Clear purpose, Clear approach, and Clear objectives and the coaching approach supports this.
Simple fundamentals are predictable to the opposition, but if the predictable is compelling and executed perfectly, you are unstoppable.
The fact you’re not clear is an indicator of how poor we were last season and how many Skolars ‘squad players’ we brought in. I’m with DC, let’s never think about that shambles of a season again. Happy he’s got a job elsewhere. Hope it goes better than at LB.
