| We look at a new variation on the "Gregan Move" in the second test between New Zealand ans England on 17-06-06 |

| Note This is a variation coaches can try with great success, because it must draw defenders out of the defending line near the oppositions try-line. |
| Note how the angle he is running draws four defenders out of their defensive positions |
| If it is a fast ball from the ruck, Keleher can score on both sides of the ruck, because the defenders were drawn out of position and in this match he scores on the right hand side |
