Rugby Skills & Wellbeing

Read the match-day scenarios and complete each task. Use rugby knowledge and Te Whare Tapa Whā to plan safe, supportive team play.

Read the game situation

Nathan’s team is practising a small-sided rugby game. The team is moving towards the try line. A defender closes in, so Nathan turns and passes the ball to a teammate running behind her. The receiver calls for the ball, catches it with two hands, and keeps running. Later, a player falls during a tackle; everyone stops, gives space, and waits for the teacher before play restarts.

1.Which pass is legal in rugby union: forward, sideways, or backward? Choose the best answer.
  • Forward only
  • Sideways or backward
  • Any direction
2.Name two useful skills described in the game situation before the player falls, and explain briefly how each helps the team.
3.A try is scored when a player grounds the ball in the opponents’ in-goal area. How many points is a try worth in rugby union?
4.True or false: If a teammate falls during a tackle, players should stop, give them space, and follow the teacher’s safety instructions.
TrueFalse
5.Give two safety actions that help make a passing and catching drill safer for everyone.

Te Whare Tapa Whā team check-in

Te Whare Tapa Whā describes wellbeing through four connected dimensions. Match each Māori term with its meaning, then apply the model to a rugby team.

6.Match each dimension of Te Whare Tapa Whā to its meaning.
  • Taha tinana
  • Taha hinengaro
  • Taha whānau
  • Taha wairua
  • Mental and emotional wellbeing
  • Physical wellbeing
  • Social wellbeing and relationships
  • Spiritual wellbeing, values, and sense of meaning
7.Mere is nervous about making a mistake in the game. Suggest one action a teammate could take to support Mere’s taha hinengaro.
8.Give one practical way a rugby session could support each dimension: taha tinana, taha hinengaro, taha whānau, and taha wairua.

Reflect and set a goal

Choose a goal that is specific, realistic, and focused on something you can control. It can be about a rugby skill, teamwork, or wellbeing.

9.Write one skill or teamwork goal for your next rugby practice. Include what you will do and how you will know you are improving.
10.Before the next game, name one action you can take to look after your own wellbeing and one action that can support a teammate.
