This exercise is focussed on creating opportunities for our fullbacks to overlap particularly during counter attack situations where the opposition fullbacks have pushed up.
The rotation sees the following occur:
- Fullback plays the ball into 6
- 6 plays the ball into the feet of the winger
- Winger plays the ball into the feet of the 9 and continues their run towards the back post
- The 9 plays the ball back to the 6 who attempts to feed the ball into space for the fullback to control and cross into the winger who has cotinued their run
Rotation:
- Fullback replaces winger
- Winger replaces 9
- 9 replaces 6
- 6 returns to the end of the line
- Timing of runs from fullback and winger
- Quality balls into feet
- First touch control to take the ball into the direction you want to go
- Weighting of the ball from the 6 into the path of the fullback
- Quality crossing into the box
