Fake Hand-off Play -
The scrum half retrieves the ball from the won ruck and makes the play call. Then attacker makes a cut and runs right by the scrum half. During this point both players must act like the hand-off was successful while in reality the scrum half still has the ball. Even if the opposition only takes a few steps towards the player who faked the hand-off that creates gaps which the other attacker who recieved the ball from the scrum half can then use. Every second counts and even a few steps in either direction could lead to creating gaps or shutting down the play.
Have the players practice acting as though they actually got the ball from the hand-off. It would help if the scrum half even stops for a sec and just watches the player run as if he has the ball and the scrum half is watching to see what happens like in a normal play. That will help sell the defenders on the idea that he really does have the ball.
Make sure to varry it up and sometimes actually perform the hand-off so that the other team doesnt know which play you'll do.
