The very important running line drill, which we call "The unders-pass running line drill". This is drill in which players can learn
the correct running lines of the unders-pass.
 
"  Many coaches want to do modern rugby moves, without  teaching their players the correct  running lines. Many of the modern
rugby moves use running line to confuse modern defenses and the "unders-pass" is one of those running lines."
