I figure this must lend itself to more back row sets off the scrums...that is something that we have worked on putting in this year. If you don't have a flanker who can peel of fast enough you can really exploit it by using an 8 pock and shield who shows it to the 6 coming around the back of the scrum. If the centers hit the line at the right time, if has been off to the races...and now I am imagining running that play if the defensive backline was another 5 meters off the gain line...
