| This week we look at one of the great moves from rucks, called "The Gregan 1 move". This is a move between the scrumhalf breaking away and a forward runner on a stand off. |
| "This is a move made famous by the legendary George Gregan. The purpose of the move is two fold - first to get over the advantage line and secondly to tie the close defenders down in the ruck following the move." - Jan Oberholzer |

Advantage of the move:
This move is designed to draw
the first defender out of his
position next to the ruck when he
follows the running scrum-half,
which then creates a gap for the
forward runner to run into.
