This play is run as a set up phase from our 22m out to the opposing 22m.
The #12 & #13 should start slightly wider apart than normal. The #10 runs on to the pass from #9 then changes angle of run towards opposing #12. #12 runs a dummy switch with the #10 and continues his run to draw/block the opposing #10. #13 runs a straight line on the outside of the opposing #13 to keep the gap open for our #11. #10 runs a line to block the opposing #12 after the pass to #11. #11 runs a line behind the #12 , parallel to #10 to hit the gap between the opposing centres. If the line break does not happen #13 should be available for contact or offload support. #14 stays wide at all times to keep his opponent fixed in position. #15 sweeps behind in case of errors.
