This play can be used as a set up phase of attack from our 40m but it is also a strike phase option closer to the opponents 22m zone. Blocking and dummy runners have to execute this play well to create space for the ball carrier to support.
#10 runs straight at opposing two players. #13 runs straight then cuts to the inside of the opposing defender. #14 stays wide to draw the opposing winger. #10 should delay the pass until the #13 makes the cut back inside. #12 takes the pass from #10 and runs behind our #13 into the space between the opponents wide defenders. The #12 now should have multiple options to continue the attack. The #12 can hit the gap or link up with the #14 and/or #15 to create a 2 or 3 on 1 situation. Once the #15 joins in the attack the #11 must cover across the fileld.
