3 forward make initial contact 2 more enter ruck to secure ball and hold it at the back of the ruck. Scrum half (grey player) organizes next three players for the next ruck. Next three hit it up create a ruck and are joined by two more too secure ruck. Scrum half organizes next three players on whatever side he seems fit.
Note: Make sure players use good body position. Make sure runner hits with shoulder drives whilst going to ground and turns and places the ball. Make sure ruckers secure the ball and anchor themselves to the tackled player. Make sure the Scrum half doesn't rush the play, but spends more time organizing forwards.
Game Note: A scrum half should always be looking to tie up a back in the ruck by placing his group of three in a position to hit a fly half or inside center. In this situation the next phase should be a straight through the backline with an emphasis on using the overlap created.
