A move that can be used to creat an overlap from a scrum/lineout
The idea of it is to use your scrum half to create an extra man. 9 takes the ball from a scrum, passes to 10, 12 then makes a hard run on the inside shoulder of the opposition 12, drawing that defender in. 10 slips the ball back out to 9, who is running a "loop" run, from there it's a simple draw and pass. Fullback will need to join the line on attack.
You do also have the option of a blindside winger to join the line to create a 2 man overlap
Draw and passing skills are key to this.
12 has to be a convincing runner, maybe use a 12 crash ball a few times through your game.

World Rugby's lower tackle height is no longer a trial. It is law in community rugby from this season, and unions choose waist or base of the sternum. Here is how to retrain your defence.
Lower tackle heights leave the ball free for longer and change the breakdown contest. If your ruck work has not been updated this pre-season, you are coaching last season's game.
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.
