Week 40
This week we look at a move we call the  
"Drifting Switch Pass Move"
, which is a
combination between the "Switch Pass Move"
and the "X-Pass Move". The try was scored by
Ma'a Nonu in the test between New Zealand
and France on 21-11-06.
"  This is what makes rugby coaching so
great, when teams start combining running
lines to create new moves that work. In this
move New Zealand combines the switch
pass and x-pass running line to beat the
drifting defence. Great try! "
