multiple uses and variants of the set play.
first idea is that the line-out plays quick and the scrum-half will be passing the ball to the pod on the left of him/her and join as an inside man for support. This means at that breakdown we have a pick and go then a cross-field kick afterwards. A second variant is that if the opposition is focused on the pod, this means they can fake a hard line run to the nine so he can pass it out to the fly-half which can result in a cross-field kick or a backs move to create more space out wide to give wingers a running chance

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.
