| This week we show coaches a great passing skills drill, which we call "The quick hands drill". This is one of the few handling drills available in which players can practice their quick passing. |
| "The reason for all the rucks in modern rugby is that players do not have the ability to pass the ball to a supporting player before being tackled. For quick passing players need quick hands under pressure and that is what this drill is doing for them." - Jan Oberholzer |
| The players are ready to start passing. |
| On the signal of the coach they start passing. |
| The drill is successfully completed with the ball safely in the hands of the outside player. |
| While they pass the players with the contact shields sprints forward to stop them from passing the ball to the player on the outside. |
