Forward pod lines up for regular punch and whips to weak side. This should draw in 11 and D1, for a quick ruck to 11 to skirt the touchline. OR if F w/ good hands gets ball, could be quick ball to F pod, to 11. If D catches onto whip and shifts D forwards to weak, then scratch whip and go for a regular punch or go to 10.

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.
