Hi Matthew, there has been questions asked on this before, here is a link http://www.sportplan.net/drills/answers/Rugby/The%20Backs/What-are-the-key-learning-points-of-a-miss-pass.jsp

In my opinion, there are 2 kinds of miss pass, a miss in front (pass in front of next player) or a miss behind (pass behind). Hope this is what you were after.

Matthew In addition to the above there is an infinte variety of running options to accompany the miss pass. The use of 11/14 (blinside wing) 15 (from depth) are but two, with 13 cuttiung a line out to draw the defence and create space. The miss pass from 12 (second receiver in drills)rather than 10 is also an option. Good luck Teifion
