Like Red ball the forwards need to be fairly flat and still run forward calling for the ball to dummy the defenders
1) Forwards need to be flat and still run hard straight line to attract defenders
2) Forwards can start run early as ball will be going behind their back to No.10.
3) Forwards arent needed if all are tied up, Green ball designed to get ball straight to No.10 even if no forwards to create wall
4) No.10 stands behind forward shield which will give them better security and avoid any blitz giving time
5) Key that No.10 has called his backs move before recieving the ball, can be done in advance while fowards are doing Red ball
