General shape
2 options:
Punch off 9 from the touchline then Exeter off 10
or
Punch off 9 from touchline then Bang off 10
ideal when ruck off the punch is quick
If slow runs forward moves such as Tiger and Punch + to generate quick ball then run moves off 10.
Moves off 10 ideal when defence is narrow and we can stretch wide. If defence is still spread stick with moves off 9 e.g. Punch, Tiger, Punch + and Blackjack
