drill is a basic ruck defense drill. Emphasis is on 10 and 20 sticking to the ruck and 30 shooting out of the line and making the tackle. As 30 move for the tackle this forces the opponent to play out wide, which to defending team's advantage, the touchline can be used as the last defender.
10: focus on ruck for pick n drive 20: focus on scrumhalf 30: shoots out of the line
