| Partner resistance scrum hinges | Paired hinge and resist to feel load transfer through the chain. | Hinge from hips, not lower back Shoulder-chest connection Drive through feet without popping |
| 3v3 sled drives | Half-pack scrum work into a sled with short, timed pushes. | Cohesive hit and chase Stay square; no angle collapse Short steps, pressure consistency |
| 8-man bind and pulse | Full pack binds and executes short “pulse” drives on whistle. | Collective timing and calls Lock-binding integrity Loose forward connection and control |
| Hooker strike timing | Heel-strike timing with 2 props against controlled resistance. | Strike on stability Core bracing during strike Ball channel accuracy |
