Move of the Week
Week 45
This week we look at great combination of two
moves, the shifting scrum-half and the "unders"
pass moves,
which was used by the Chiefs to score a
great try against the Bulls on 24-02-07.
"  This is a great try scored after the execution of two great moves,
moves which  we called the "Crusaders1" or shifting scrum-half
move and a straight forward "unders" pass move. The important
aspect of the two moves is that it draw defenders out of their
defending positions to create gaps in the defence. The beauty of the
"Crusaders 1" move is that the defending scrum-half can not defend
the move, because he is on the other side of the scrum."

"Unders"- pass move: He passes a short
"unders" pass to his supporting player. He
take out his immediate defender, while the
second defender puts up his hands to stop
the overhead pass. .
If this combination move is well practiced
and slickly executed it can beat any
defence in the world.
The supporting players runs into the pass
with the second defender to slow to get into
position.
He draws the fullback and passes to his wing
on the outside.
The wing scores.
