Explaining the Latch in 60 Seconds! | Touch Rugby/Football | Breakdown

This was a difficult one!
I didn't think I would feel the pressure as much as I did during this video. Things to remember when latching:
- Go infield to where the middle normally defends to engage them
- Turn them away by dumping on the outside shoulder
- Be strong in your play the balls

Great stuff. Love the 60 second format… and the notes in the comments are really useful!

Great vid, shout out to your work!!
One thing that is interesting to watch on the second clip is that Hornets send their latch as the second (or maybe third?) player entering the pitch ; I am assuming this is to give a head start to the far-side link and mid so that they can cover the ground they need to and play the potential overlap?
On a side note, there are 7, even 8 players on the pitch as the guys subbing in are a bit early. I guess this is part of the game, playing with what the ref will tolerate or not be able to pick up on :)
