-10 receives ball from 9
-after a step or two forward he cuts to the right on a switch line with 12
-12 runs a switch line with 10 who is followed with support from 11
-13 runs a hard tight line towards 10
-15 runs behind 13 fora wide pass
-10 has multiple options including keeping it himself so everyone stay aware
-13 and 15 should line up fairly flat with each other but at least 8-10 yards apart as i want them to create a rubbing action as they cross
-SHOTGUN is the same play the only change is 13 and 15 swap roles
-remember the name of the play keys on the fullback... rifle isa smaller lighter gauge so the fullback is going wide... shotgun bigger heavy gauge fullback is coming in tight

Long, lonely runs build lungs, not rugby players. Here's how to build a pre-season that puts fitness where the game needs it - with a ball in hand and a decision to make.
