For Kiwisport we are learning how to play Rippa Rugby. As most of us are pretty big rugby fans we are really enjoying increasing our skills and knowledge of this sport.
Today we worked on defending; trying to rip a flag off the person carrying the ball. We started by getting into pairs and taking it in turns to act as the ball carrier and the defender. It was harder to take the flags off than we first thought and we realized that we had to be quite quick to grab the flag - it was easier to take a lunge to the side of someone and make a grab than to run behind them!
After practicing these skills we launched into a quick game which we really enjoyed. We focused on getting used to the way the game is played and working together to be strong attackers/ defenders. We look forward to introducing more rules and positions into these games as we develop our skills and understanding further!
