Pick the Wallaby Game Plan

[fatprop]

So far I reckon it is

Kick off receipts
Good kick off, crash ball open, then kick blind
Average kick off, have a run

Scrums,
8 to take it off the back
Get it in and our quick

Lineouts,
Off the back or middle when outside the 22
Backs, Set Piece - Inside ball to blind side winger or Crash ball from backrower

General Play
Forward to pick and go
Quick ball, defenders rushing, 9 to run
Quick ball, defender drifting, inside passes to blindside winger/fullback from 10 or 12, if no over lap
General rule: don't spin it too wide without support, you might get isolated

Turnover
Spin it wide, try to run around them

Defense
Golden Rule - Don't commit too many
9 to sweep
first tackler to go low, second to attack the ball
Pick your time to counter ruck

fp, you haven't have a breakdown strategy ...

... ah, I see, very clever.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier just to play what is in front of you?

I would suggest that instead of 'forward pick and go' we more prefer 'forward standing flat footed two off the ruck, with a couple off his shoulder for support'. A new addition has been 'forward standing flat footed two off the ruck passes behind to Quade/Kurtley on an angle'. There is also 'forward standing flat footed two off the ruck passes behind to the looping halfback'.

Few additions to FPs post:-
Scrums - Meerkats pop up to check hyenas aren't circling the pack, then disengage before the other 5 back-pedal over the top of them
In general play - the meerkat still likes to keep its head up high so runs this way, getting easily smashed backwards into one of the other flat-footed forwards; other forwards are more used to falling over forward in scrums, so do that instead. Any others milling around should just watch until Pocock arrives.
Lineouts - throw it to Sharpe or Rocky, unless it is blowing hard with sideways rain, then go for the 15m speculator
Defence - the time to counter-ruck is Tuesday, unless there is a mid-week game, when it is Thursday
