1. Blue team attacks and tries to pass first yellow opponent (same as Version 1).
2. If they pass without being touched, they move into the second space where it becomes a 3v2. The one outer defender (in yellow) must run around the red cone in order to come into the game and create the 3v2 while the outer attacker (in blue) can run straight into the game in order to create the overload.
3. Blue team must evade and run pass the yellow opponents without being touched in order to score a try.
4. If the blue team at any stage is touched, they must retreat back to starting position. Both players who begin on the outer on the 6m line, must also begin back at the starting position. If the offensive team score, they must also start again at the starting position.
- Offensive team (blue) must use quick pass combinations and running moves to evade the yellow team to score a try.
- Utilise Touch moves such as wraps and overlaps.
- Try to split the opponent.
- Defending team (yellow) try to 'look big' and bait the opponent in to making bad decisions with the ball.
