*Can be played on both sides, direction depends on the defense (could be designated with a call for each direction)
Scrum midfield
10 lines up behind the 9 with the 15 behind him
12 and 13 split and line up with extra distance from the 10, wings on their outside
depending in direction of play, 10 takes the ball at an angle
center runs a switch with the 10 to bite first defender
wing runs a crash line on inside of second defender to sit him
10 passes to the 15 who is looping wide on outside of wing
wing runs support with the 15
-here the backs split and attack to one side
-optimal if used against a defender who is worse
i.e attack the side with the weaker/less skilled defenseive winger
