Attacking ( and defending ) a right hand blind.
All forwards must stay on the scrum until the ball is released , thus making it near impossible for the defense to stop you before the gainline .
The defense also has to defend the kick as well and the further they are from their goaline the more vunerable they are as they will have players ..the 15 ... playing the kick first before the run. They will also be less on their toes as they are a long way from their goaline and more suspectable to an attack.We call this move automatic as , unless something else is on , when we get a big enough rh blind.. 15m+ ...we will automatically go 8 -9 -15.
It takes timing , the right depth ...especially from the 15 as if he is flat he doesn't allow the 9 to make the 2v1 happen.It is basically a series of 2v1's(see TIPS for my drill on this. )
The 8 to take 1-1/2 steps (or even none if the 9 is fast off the mark ) and to also run on & after his pass to get in the way of the oppn 6.
We now have our 9 in a bit of space and his potential threat the10 or the 8..the width of the 8's pass to our 9 should take care of the oppn 8 ,
if notlook for your 6 or 7 to take a pass back inside from the 9 in the tackle .
If their 10 steps in to our 9 then , with the right depth from our15 the 2v 1 is on , followed by another for; the 15 v oppn 11.
If the oppn 10 drifts 9 runs
If the 11 drifts the 15 runs
Then& we have the last 2v1 against the oppn
Get your 12 and 13 to run up their side of the scrum and support the 2v1 with the oppn 15.
Tell your 9 and 15 to run and look inside for a pass after a tackle is made on them..the little grubber is an easy option as well..the last resort.
The14 is NOT to go out of bounds ...Find a forward !!!!!
Keep going up the same channel if stopped ..get your tight forwards to participate !!
If you get slow ball back there will still be space over on the left side of the field to run and pass to as they will have ball watched and be drawn to the right in defense..
Defending this.........
You have to have someone marking their 9 runing wide and your back row can't get wide quick enough....although if you play a zone with the 6 going wide and the 8 covering inside and the 11 back a bit so he can run up and turn with the move waiting for support you can cover this especially if your 6 is fast off the mark.( Check out defense in the library for more info on this )
We put our 10 , or our best open field defender from the backs , there and tell our 9 to play the first back on his side of the scrum ..basically our 10 is marking the oppn9 and our 9 is marking the oppn 10 .
WE have also had some success with our 9 running hard following, them around the scrum and getting in amongst them when they look for passes in the tackle .
