We’re going to simulate a ruck and the pattern of the player taking the ball in a tackle. Andy is the tackler from the opposite team. Instead of picking up the ball and moving, we’re going to try and clear this player off the ball. We have a good clean ruck, and a player on our team can come and take this ball cleanly away.
