In this session Eddie take you through how to create shape and attack off 9, particularly for a side that doesn’t have a physical advantage. Starting in a game like situation encouraging players to identify attacking opportunities while under fatigue. He then focuses specifically on the relationship between 9, 10 & 12, their communication and ability to exploit space.

Eddie loves his team playing off ten. In this session he highlights the good lines and the bad, as he teaches us everything about playing off ten.

In this session, Eddie looks create options using your 2 best ball running forwards off your 10. He will create an outside option off 10 so we are creating shape that we call the triangle off 10. That gives 3 potential options and the 4th option being the 10 running themselves. Be sure to closely watch the running lines of the players!

We have added Eddie’s excellent  No 9 running to this series. Eddie details how no 9 should always be a running threat to hold defences and this is important to your attack.
