3 Player Pod - Ball Carrying Option - The idea is get over the gain line and comlete a quick ruck.
Ball pass to middle player of the pod.
Middle player carriers the ball forward, attacking his opposite defender's outside shoulder (shoulder furthest from where the ball come from).
Inside and outside supporting players latch onto the ball carrier before he makes contact with the defender and clear the ruck.
The back follows the pod to either clear the ruck if need or play scrum half or play first receiver or take a short pop pass off the ruck
