Set up 2 x 12m wide channels side by side
Players work clockwise between the two channels playing continuous 4 v 2, with ball fed in by scrum halves
Defence can choose to stand either narrow or wide, A plays against this D and tries to score
2x A become defenders, rest of the 4 players work clockwise to next channel and set up next attack
1st thing A must communicate is the defensive set up (Wide/Narrow), this gives us an idea of where the space is and where we want to the put the ball, but players must realise this can change
If Wide = punch through the middle
If Narrow = play out and round with bale
If players see gap comms is "BOSS"
Important that the bale holds very deep, if we get shallow Bale and Winger will run out of space on the wing. Therefore, we have to go BACK then ROUND D so that we can straigten up if needs be. This also gives us time to distribute from Bale
Bale sets up slightly inside Hard Line so that we force the 10 to throw a 70 degree pass
