| Unit Skills: The rolling maul. This week we look at the correct technique on how to form an effective rolling maul. |
| " An effective rolling maul is one of the better weapons against modern defences, because it gets the attacking team over the advantage line and it also draw close defenders out of their positions to create space in the channels close to the maul." - Jan Overhauler |

| The sequence of binding to form an effective maul |
| Coaches must note that the most important factor in effective mauling in the modern era is to get the ball away from the center of the maul, where the ball is trapped. By binding over the ripper, the ripper can move to the back, while the maul is moving forward. The player with the ball can then easily attack the space round the maul when the maul stop moving. |
