Set up for the receiving kick start
The team is split into three team POD formations:
No's 1,4,6 are the left pod (Able)
No's 3,5,7 are right pod (Baker)
No's 2,8,9,10 are the centre pod (this pod will change to the requirement of players available and the use of set play called for this area) (Cain)
Loose Fwds have to work to take the place of the backs in POD Cain. This is to allow the set up of the next phase.
