.......why..???? well here are the thoughts of Bob Dwyer current NSW super 12 coach and ex wallaby coach on where people may start attacking
Dwyer does think, though, that coaches need to do more thinking than previously, if only to find a way through modern defensive lines.
The game had changed in many ways, he said. For instance, fewer players were committed to the tackle now than before, given that they were needed on their feet for the next phase, and defensive lines were wider and therefore thinner, which meant there was potential benefit in running people close to the tackle in the hope of an offload..
So we need to practise defending the edges to get our players organized and nominating who they are tackling as well a what system they are using ie man on / zone etc....
So get the attackers to play in the style you want eg runners off 9 or pick and go or off 10 etc and get your defense into their system and practise ....
