Red 2 aims to have 2 running options for the Inside Centre to pass to. These should be Outside centre (13) the Full Back (15)
Both should run as shown after the "Red 2" call with the final demoninator being the player it is going to. In this case, "Dylan" is playing Full Back, so the call is "Red 2 Dylan" followed by the move.
The ball moves swiftly from 10 to the Inside Centre, who takes the ball to the opposition, with the final pass to the Full Back running at pace. The Outside Centre acts as a dummy runner.
Look at the angles the players are running.
Timing of the run is key.
Both Centres then support the runner for the off-load or secure the ball if he is tackled.
