HB TOSS & PASS This play is excellent if you need ten yards fast. The quarterback throws the ball to the halfback, who can then either throw or run with the ball.

[…] And when we drive forward so effectively, France have to put more and more forwards into the mauls to stop us. This means their backs have no inside support in defence, their wingers are forced to come up and help and it frees up the back field.
