2 Groups of 3
No halfback, whoever is passing the ball from the ruck HAS to follow the pass
-First player goes to contact and works on the ground
-Second player clears the shield
-Third player secures the ball
-First player of the second group passes the ball from the ruck, follows to secure the next breakdown
Keeps going for 3 phases
-Player that secures the ball needs to hold strong with good body position
-Halfback needs to follow the pass
-Breakdown needs to be no longer than 3"
