    Note:
    This is one of the new generation modern rugby drills that keep
    the players thinking.
    The three passes - the torpedo pass, the switch pass and the
    unders pass - that must be executed in a small grid, makes this
    a great drill.  
A new generation warm-up and skills development drills, which we call "The extended switch pass drill", in which players
must use their passing skills to execute the switch pass.
