set up like B1
befor ethe ball is full out, 10 and one side of the back line should start their run
9 will pick and go to the opposite direction
backline on the other side will support the 9
15 should insert
this play is to trick the defense into thinking the play is going one direction
it is key that the side that the 10 will attack on engages their run before the ball is out. this will tell the defense that the ball is going on way
9 should pay attention to the flanker on the side he is attacking. Try to attack wide enough to stear clear oof the flanker, but not wide enough to shut off space.
9 should straighten their line and pass the ball out
