• 4x attacking players with the ball
• 4x defenders first line, 1x second line defender
• Attacking player with the ball looks to identify a space between defence and then commit a defender and offload to supporting teammate.
• As soon as attackers have passed the front line, the second line defender presses up to add pressure.
• Attacker with the ball looks to offload either left or right.
• Concentrate on fast feet to commit defenders, clear communication and accurate offloads/passing.
• Players simply turn and repeat/defence adjusts accordingly.
