ADRIAN HOILE
DIRECTOR OF RUGBY CHISWICK RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB LTD
PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is to play good rugby which is:

- Expansive - Wide game

- Exciting
- Controlled & Structured
- Offers platforms for the forwards
- Plays in behind the defence
- Sensible - Players taking the right options at the right times
- Involves all back line players
- Has good execution
- Intelligent lines of running
- Based on Good Skill levels
- We can absolutely play what we see and can always call traditional; moves such
as Carlos, Cut moves etc
Beliefs

As a backline across the club we MUST follow the following:

1. We believe in our own ability and those playing around us

2. We believe in the moves we have to beat the opposition

3. We believe in our structure

4. We believe that we can make the opposition constantly think about what we are
doing

5. We believe in strong communication in Attack & Defence

6. We believe in Patience

7. We believe in our execution

8. We believe in TCUP - Total Control Under Pressure

9. We believe we can make mistakes as it is only one moment in a game, we will

have far more positives than negatives

10. We play with smiles on our faces at all times.

Tempo
We need to have the ability and run the patterns of play that may as an example have a
tempo of :

Slow Ball - Slow Ball - Fast Ball - Fast Ball - Slow Ball - Slow Ball - Slow Ball

We build our game on phase play with the backline being the cutting edge behind the
work that forwards do, as such we do not give away possession naively or in too a
gung-ho style.

Be measured, use time to assess the opponents weakness early and attack that point,
remember not to get caught pushing the point to much and switch the tempo and points
if attack.

Calls that require US as backs to up the tempo and speed up the game:

TIDAL

WAVE this will see quick ball generated by forwards although we may
have to be involved in a phase (THINK 10S) or keep up the pace after the
3rd phase/hit

LIGHTNING

Ball immediately spread wide by 10, hitting 13 channel or wider stretching

opposition defence and numbers

HOPSCOTCH

Tight Hit ups to keep opposition thinking and tie players in, backs could be
required to provide one of the 3 hits.

CHAOS RUGBY

Once we have broken the gainline we want to encourage intelligent skill bnased attack
with good lines of running and support. Ball Carrier must always have support on either
side.

1&2

It is important when communicating with the forwards and when navigating the side around
the park that we communicate channels and compass points of where the ball is going to be
in order to allow us the maximum chance of retention.

The diagram above shows the call that needs to be made, it does not always have to be
called once moves known.
DEFENSE CALLS

Calls of fire/ice to be made from 13 channel (whoever is there but most often 13
himself).

Efforts to be made to work the forward in and backs out as always if it can be done
quickly but not compromising the setup of the line.

Call of 'ready, ready, press' to initiate the defensive motion.

Fire

When?:

When there are sufficient numbers in defensive line to apply pressure and no overlap
present.

1. move the line up together in channels

2. quickly but at a consistent pace so no dog-legs are developed

3. tackle made by defender closest to ball carrier (with help if appropriate)

4. if ball passed inside man tracks the inside shoulder of the next man out to cover
inside balls/assist with double tackle if appropriate

Ice

When?:

Defence under pressure in resetting line and/or overlap present

1. no forward motion

2. defenders maintain equal spacing to that in which they set up

3. defenders track across the field with open shoulders (I.e. Not just running
sideways) until the attack engage the line

4. at this point the tackle is made by the closest person(s)
