Wallaby backline blueprint

[naza]

The English journalists dug up the following titbits written on the Wallaby change room whiteboard :

Tuck the ball under one arm. Holding the ball in 2 hands will just give you options and you risk confusing yourself.

Don't take the ball to the line. Get as much work as you can done behind the advantage line.

Make sure your halfback is about to be pounced on by multiple defenders before you give him a receiving option. That just telegraphs to the defence what you're going to do.

If in doubt, give the up and under a go. One of these days it'll work !

Think they forgot two: "if you make a break run away from your support until you isolate yourself" and "if a teammate makes a break and passes you the ball make sure you drop it cold or let it go to ground".

You forgot " if you kick it, make sure you don't chase in case it stops them kicking it back to you". Better still, "kick it out on the full so NOBODY has to chase it".
