2 teams work whilst 1 team rests
A ruck is called and A set up an attack from that number, with D setting up their defence from the same ruck.
Play continues until a try is scored, or D force a mistake or tunrover
Once one of these things happen, D becomes A, and the team that was resting becomes the new D
Keep rotating teams for a set amount of time
First thing D does is set A B C then fan from there.
Second thing is to scan A and assess what defensive system we need to implement - Hot or Cold
Next, generate line speed and see if we can get a double tackle, preferably Chop with D2 in over the ball and in the space
1 MAN HAS 1 GO AT THE BALL
Then we can have D3 folding under the tackle to build far side of D line
Defending team becomes Attack so that they are fatigued, hopefully helping the new defence who have just rested
