What your player learns
By the end of the book, your player can:
- Name the five steps of the breakdown in order (tackle, release, ruck, contest, ball out)
- Say what the tackler, the tackled player and other players must do after a tackle
- Explain when a ruck forms, where each team's offside line is and how players may join
- Explain common penalties as reasons (what each protects), including the safety rules
- Use the three-question read to choose whether to commit players or hold back, and say what would change the answer
- Say which rules the book uses, that their competition may differ, and that technique is learned from a coach

For grown-ups: This book explains rules and decisions. It doesn’t teach you how to tackle, how to arrive at a ruck, or how to clear a player away. Learn those from a qualified coach.
With Riley, Kai, Freya and Coach Dan.
