Running straight and changing your running line will make players better attackers and underpins an effective 2 v 1
Start with a 5 v 3 situation, all five attackers start in a slightly angled line with the end player with ball in hand
On Go, the play starts and the first pass is made. The receiving player runs a straight line toward the opposing player and 'fixes them up', meaning the defender is square on and must make the decision to either tackle or anticipate the pass
Coaching points
The supporting players should not be too flat, so that they can run onto the ball.
Supporting players should also be communicating and talking early to give information to ball carrier.
Passes need to be accurate and well weighted to help the teammate running onto the ball.
Run straight at opposing player before passing onto teammate.
