The plan

How we’re approaching it

Channel it, don’t carry it. Talk to the referee, not the player; and use the markers — when two follow him, a team-mate is free.

  • Channel it, don’t carry it
  • Talk to the referee, not the player
  • Use the markers — two on him means a team-mate’s free
  • Reset quickly and get back on the game
