Okay, just listen up. Then what we're doing here. The yellows are the attackers is a five-meter scrum blacks are defending what we're trying to do is look to see if we can score from first phase. So what you guys are going to think about is how are you going to manufacture the space to either go through them or go round them or go over them to be able to score if you don't score from first phase. We just stop and then we play second phase. If you score from first phase you get 5 Points from second phase is four points, then three points and two points if it takes more than four phases will swap over and at the end we'll top of the points and see the winning team are okay and when happy with that Okay black team you scored on second phase was it? Yeah, so tell us what you did to manufacture that space to scoring. So you're down the middle to start? Yeah. Terrific and it was quick boil. Yes, so your tack down the middle to pull the defenders in and then try to go around the outside and you managed to create a space to score. Excellent nice simple stuff in it. Alright, so let's think about that blacks. Now, you're going to attack from a Centerfield scrum scrum off your score good school.
