This is called Unders. The scrum half passes the ball to the first receiver. He passes the ball late to the third player. The third player is running on from deep. He runs forwards then diagonall. In affect, he takes out his opposing player. The middle player runs from deep calling for the ball but then runs diagonally in front of the third player, before the third player runs. The third player needs to time his run. The second player makes out he is going to get the ball and takes out the two players on the side in which the third player ran from(left/right). The people on the tackle bags shuffle accross the red cones applying graduall pressure to the attack. The groups of three switch around after three goes at each postions (attacking, the tackle bag and scrum half). Participants switch stations clockwise.
