Back in the day this was called shepherding, and penalised. Sending blocking players in FRONT of the ball, with the intention to prevent a defending player from attempting to tackle the ball carrier. Technically it still is a penalty offence under IRB Rule #9.3, but the refs today don’t see it that way..

Sheparding is having the ball in hand and running behind your team mates, putting them offside and in front of the ball potentially impeding the defence. It is a penalty! But, not in open play.. like kicks downtown, attacker has the ball with all his team in front of the ball.. not a shepard! Now if you watch carefully!!! The first receiver never goes behind a player, the block runner never gets in front of the first receiver, who passes behind to the backdoor runner, who runs behind the block yes.. without the ball in hand, they cannot be directly behind the block or be on the inside shoulder of the block.. when receiving the ball, They must be clearly past the block runner!! If not Penalty, no problem at all. If executed correctly, timing is key, players in motion.. and defence needs to be on there game. Communication is key, numbering up, and nobody jamming.

Wide or tight both blocker shapes can manipulate the defence if done effectively. It also depends on where the defence is showing you the space or how you control the defence. Good vid ;)

Be better if everyone starts and square up on the defenders outside shoulder, then shape up for a block, spreads the defence and makes bigger holes. Ball player runs square then kicks out on an overs to make 2nd defender to bite.

Maybe but with the blocker(1st up player) coming in on that angle, if the 2nd defender does try to be smart and take the blind side runner from the back the 10 (or 1st receiver) can just put him (blocker or 1st up player) through, the angle of the blocker means the 2nd defender can't recover.

@@benrawson007 the problem with the blocker running the angle its an easy defence read, in that situation our defence would shut the front door and the back door.

Thank you for the video. It’s really interesting! This is what I’m doing with my team: From the complete line out, we defend with 6 players and leave one flanker opposite the opposing 10. In this way our 10 can defend the space that could be attacked by the blind-side winger, thus defending the remaining attacker’s outside shoulder. What do you think of this? Any comments or suggestions will be welcome.

Karina Sanguinetti I would say switch the flanker and the 10 round so that the 10 is marking the 10 and the flanker is inside the 10. The reason for this is, if the 10 switches with the 12, the flanker will not be as exposed and the 10 and the flanker can make a double tackle and therefore increase the probability of them getting the ball. If you move the 10 out wide and he's slower than the winger, this could expose the outside so it might be an idea to leave it as position on position with the flanker inside the 10. It's more trial and error really, the most experimental teams with their defence, i.e. Saracens, England from 1999-2003, they are usually the most successful so it's doing what's best for your team. Hope this helped and all the best with it!
