Walker on the Cook Islands, but that forget that in their visits to the Wellington sevens, they have beaten just about every nation in the sevens except the New Zealand and Fiji is in Damo and Damu so pressure here for the cooks to that's a good strong run by the big Fiji and born number one and they've got plenty out wide over-the-top it goes and goings will run around and he will score it other try and puts it down between the stick. So England they haven't been

Scrum 8 to 9 to 8

A set play from a scrum is an effective way to go forwards.

Scrum - blindside going right

Exploiting the space on a pitch especially from a scrum is an important part of understanding tactics and how to manipulate the opposition.

Scrum - 8-9-15 blindside - forwards down channel

Playing from the scrum this pattern utilises a break down the blindside - these breaks are based on quick ball from the scrum and strong fast breaks from the half backs.

Scrum - 8 picks - forward drive then wide

Having a stable scrum allows the back row especially the number 8 to go forward and gain valuable yardage. Here the intention is to go forward through the Number 8, suck in the opposition back row and then go wide.

Sevens - Straight Scrums 2

Scrums are a great platform to attack from in seven's, notice the fly half (2nd reciever) is directly behind the scrum and can choose which way to attack. Key factors : Work as a unit - Strong core - Tight binding - Leg drive

Scrum - Rangi 13 - drive - and support

Patterns of play from a scrum vary immensely - here the point of contact is moved out from twelve to thirteen, this results in the play and support stretching the defence.

Scrum - 2 phases then wide

The ability to attack out wide is made more successful by there being fewer players in the wide channels, by creating a multi-phase style of play you manufacture the space.

Scrum - Rangi 10 - 12 - drive - wide

This is one of a multitude of patterns of play from a scrum. This pattern tests the ability of a team to create space and then use it.

Scrum - 8 to 6 - ruck - drive - wide left

A strong scrum allows the back row to launch an attack, this pattern develops that ability.

Play from scrum 1

Developing an understanding of how a team plays the game tactically is essential, the development of one option of play from a scrum is shown here.

Lineout - OTT at 4 - 12-13 wrap - ruck on wide - reverse drive down middle

Patterns of play are used by teams to create a pre-planned outcome - moving the opposition around the pitch - the more complex the planned pattern the more practice is required.

Scrum - 2 phases left then reverse

Play from a scrum allows the attack to be coordinated and for the attacking team to manipulate the defence - here the team attacks the same way and then decides once in the correct position to go the other way.
