Ball flows off the top to 9, to 10, to the Violence runner. 9 and 10 move in concert quickly to the next phase, with a 3 second ruck sending the ball to the second pod with an overload advantage.
Violence runner has to be disciplined, not straying too far wide because he thinks he can break the line. Last man in Linout hustles to ruck the 1st pod. This is standard shape. There are innumerable ways to generate additional advantage.

Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.
The isolated ball carrier is rugby's spookiest turnover. Here is the five-step fix, plus drills that rebuild support lines fast.
Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
