Backs move to get the ball into wide spaces

This backs move is best from between your own 10m line and the opposition 22m line. It is not a rugby "gain line" move. It is a chance to get the ball into wide spaces and use the pace of 15 and/or 11.

Why it works

Excellent against a "rush/blitz defence", the turn and "dummy loop" by 12 holds the defensive line from coming forward any faster.
11 has more time to find a gap in the weak defensive seam between the opposition 13 and "openside winger".
The second and third passes are easy to make because the passer has full view of the receiver.

Good if you have

Already used a "crash ball" with 12 or 13.
A quick 11 who would benefit from more time to take on players.
An opposition 13 who is a weak defender and likely to step in to tackle around the "loop area".

What players should do

10 passes the ball immediately to 13 and then runs a deep "arc" to receive a pass behind 13 before delivering the ball to 11.
12 runs behind 13 on a "loop move", running very close to 13's "outside shoulder".
13 takes a pass from 10, runs forwards, turning inwards, "dummies" a "loop pass" to 12 before passing to 10.

11 takes a wide "arc" and receives a pass from 10 running into the gap between 12 and 14.

Common mistakes

13 performs the "loop pass" too early. He should take the ball right to the defence releasing the ball just before contact.
11 does not "arc", but runs sideways. 11 makes the move go forwards, so needs to start his run early.

Think about

10 giving the ball "some air" when passing to 13. 10 can then get around on the loop to draw in defenders.
15 starting very wide and coming in on an angle.
