This is a session to make the players quickly decide on the best pass or line to run in game-related situations and in especially for the fly half and centres.
Decision Making Preparation
Start the session with a game of "corners". Put about 10 players in a box. Make two of them "chasers" and give them a ball.
They have to touch another player with the ball without dropping it in the process and without running.
They can pass the ball between themselves. Any player who is touched becomes a chaser. Players who run outside the box also become chasers. Play until all the players are touched.
The game works on anticipation. Players who don't look ahead and work out where they and the ball need to be, to meet a potential running line of a target, will not be very successful.
Better players can play in a larger box. This will test anticipation skills further, as well as communication, footwork and passing.
