Called by the Scrum half on slow ball from a breakdown. Players, ideally forwards take up to flat positions next to the breakdown with additional player behind the second position. The goal is to tip the ball to player one from the breakdwn who tips the ball off to either player 2 running short or player 3 running around the back Spare players then clear out creating quick ball - Goal is to suck loose forwards close to the breakdown and create space out wide for quick ball
Scrum Half dictates the pace, if its slow ball anyway there is no need to rush. PLayers 1 and 2 must be flat and take the ball semi static

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.
