Set-up

Full 11v11 at match pace with minimal coaching interruption. First-choice eleven plays a structured opposition in a different shape to stress the system. Coach observes and makes notes for the taper-day team talk. No freeze coaching — let the team problem-solve.

Coaching points

  • You've had the tools all week — now trust them; play what you've been coached
  • Doubtful players (Bianchi, Haddad) available for limited minutes only — watch the load
  • Walsh remains suspended — the CDM cover slot is the decision to resolve in selection

Progressions

  • Second 15 minutes: remove the opposition shape restriction — open scrimmage
  • Final 5 minutes: simulate a set-piece situation from a dead ball to test retention under fatigue
