The  execution of  the "Crusader 4 move"  ( In this move the fullback is skipped by the drifting flyhalf)
A variation of our "Crusader 4 move"  in which the drifting scrumhalf skip the dummy running fullback. This move was doneby
the Hurricanes on 19-04-08 against the Stormers.
Description of the Move
The number 8 passes the ball from the base of
the scrum to the shifting scrumhalf, who draws
the defenders and then passes to the blindside
wing, skipping the fullback who is acting as a
dummy runner.

    Advantage of the move:
    1.The move is done from a scrum on the
    right hand side, because the very
    important defender from a scrum, the
    scrumhalf , is out of the defending
    equation.
    2.The defending wing must first check the
    dummy running fullback before he can
    move to his opponent and most of the
    time he is too late.
