Passing From A Scrum Under Pressure Scrum Half Skills & Tips

In this video ex international scrum half and level 3 RFU rugby coach Ryan shows how to pass from a scrum. These skills can be useful in general and under pressure. Some of the things Ryan focuses on includes the scrum half or half back working together with their number 8. For the scrum half to position themselves and the importance of positioning themselves correctly. I have put down timestamps below for specific tips.

Thanks for the video mate, great advice about managing what your 8 is doing, always helps if he know what he's doing too of course! But with some 'polite persuasion' and 'gentle nudging' like you explain that's going to free up the channels for making the pass that much easier, something I hadn't been utilising at all really. Will be sure to apply these tips at training and thanks again!

I'm playing 9 for the first time this afternoon. Definitely bricking it. This video has given me a lot of insight to the scrum. Hopefully I'll be able to use it.

[Mnguni_media]

[jackiecruickshank]

[elmesias]

Thanks for the You’ve helped me so much I’m currently competing to be the starting 9 at my university and this is definitely giving me an advantage

[ronnietaurarii]

That was choice as! I gained two-fold from this video: communication w/ 8 & 10 with or without a strong scrum and building on safe scrummaging when it twists! Great insight to building confidence in our front row schoolboy rugby at junior level.
Thank you heaps my Bro for helping me improve as a coach with this content!

Love this video. I wish I learned this in my early 20s. But I suppose we learn from our mistakes and improve as we grow.

[oisinspillane]

Thanks for all the advice man really appreciate it. New to the position with a semi-final tomorrow and this will help a lot. Thanks again

Great help for my lad. Can do a video on applying pressure on your opposite 9 at scrum time?

[Maddawg]

Hey Ryan thanks for this wonderful insights, insanely helpful !! Love from Kenya.

[ThePredator-br]

thanks for lesson man <3 I will definitely use it for the game, nice vid <3 good luck!

[andrewbell]

Another great video. I am also interested in a video on what no 9s are allowed and not allowed to do to pressure one another.

[ianfrost]

Great advice, what do you think the best way to play at the scrum now in 2025, the defending number 9 has to stay in the centre and not behind the ball.

[OUABC]

Good emphasis on don’t touch it with your hands until you’re ready to pass or flanker will jump you

[wthompson]

im a 9 and my best attribute of my game is passing, but it is instinct to pass every time i snipe even if it is not the right decision, any tips to help me make the right decisoin under pressure because i dont use my eyes enough.

[the_first_step]

Is the number 8 allowed to flick the ball? Will we not be penalized for hands in the scrum? And thanks for the tips, I'm moving to the number 9 position and I needed this
