We look at a new rolling maul at the back of
the line-out from the Blues, which we
appreciable call  
 "the running maul"
"  If you look at top rugby teams you will see that most of them start their rolling maus in the
center of the line-out, but this
"running maul" is done from a ball at the back of the line-out. The
success  of this kind off maul is that the defence against a maul at the back of the line-out is
very thin. Good yards is made quickly with this maul, because all the attackers know where and
how to join the maul, why the defenders must scramble to defend against the maul. This can be
an excellent maul with which to get over the advantage line and to draw in defenders and the
maul can be use at  all levels of modern rugby coaching. "   -

The attacking players join the maul
while the defenders are still upright
on the fringes of the maul.
The maul is moving forward at a
great pace, while more and more
attackers join the maul. Look at the
defenders still standing upright
and not joining the maul.

Note
The coaches must include this "Running maul" in their game
plans, because it will be an easy way to get over the advantage
line, while coaches are still working on defences for this mau
