Pressure and Continuity in Team Drills
In the details you give, you don’t specify the age of your players, but I assume they are juniors. Well anyway this kind of practice can work for any age group and ability.
This drills is based on developing team continuity under pressure. The drill works from a basic semi opposed format of any team drill. I recommend always practising team plays semi opposed as it gives players a more realistic situation to deal with i.e. running lines and defensive alignment even if it is semi or no contact.
Basically play starts from any set piece or point from which you want to start the game. You then go through a normal opposed game play situation. The way in which pressure is increased is by having the defenders stand in off side positions, thus increasing the pressure. Depending on the standard of players you are working with the distance that the players start off side can be altered, from novice players where you keep the defence onside, to quality players where the defence could be up to 1 meter off side.
This type of conditioned game works well because all 15 or ‘X’ number of players are involved in the pressured game situation, from the scrum half who has to get the pass away to the fly half who has to make and execute his decision, to the back row and the rest of the front five forwards who have to deal with securing a tackle area which is developing quicker than normal, and so on.
As you mentioned you wanted some conditioning for your players through games, this scenario fits into your criteria quiet well. As this drill is game related then although you would expect more stoppages due to the increased pressure, the stop start nature of the game directly relates to the multi-sprint conditions of a normal Rugby match.
With this sort of team drill I think that you will find that it will improve your teams continuity in matches as the players will be used to working under much more stressed conditions, so real game situations could be described as being easier, due to the increased time for decision making and skill execution.
Finally using this kind of drill before a game as part of your warm-up would be beneficial for the reasons mentioned above.
Hope this is of some help.

for the back 3 (wing's fullback) get them in the 22 and make them kick to each other high/low/gurbber kick. then add a flanker to run at the kicker as this may happen in a game.
fly half & srum half aging get them some where they can kick ie to touch or box kick and add a flanker or a winger you could use your self as a no 8 for the srum half
for the front row and second row get them to defend a ruck/maul and make them do all the work as you see how hard it is with out every one
foe the hokker get them to throw at the point of the post where it goes across make them hit it 10 out of 20 then go to the side and make them do it on the try line without a guild them
i hope this will help if you wish to get in touch my e-mail adderss is rebecca.mark@cytanet.co.cy.

1a.I am hoping someone might be able to help by putting up examples of some intensive pressure drills for the front five, the loose forwards, the centers, the wings and full-back and also some pressure drills in game form for the team to work on.
1b.I would very much appreciate your help with suggestions for drills for the front five, the loose forwards, the centers, the wings and full-back. By this I mean drills which they can work on in their own units as well as drills where I can then combine the units but where they will still be working in their units thus improving continually their skills as a unit.
2.Am extremely interested in some Cardio-vascular drills I can introduce to the lads during the training sessions which really can get them to work intensively for a specific time, thus building up their stamina. Preferably drills in game form so as the lads are continually working in game situations and learning from these game sits.
3.Would someone have some suggestions for 3-4 counter attack drills together with diagrams for the team.
Thanks for your time
