Tips:
Brummie says:
Defenders are optional in this drill, as is the fourth cutter F, but are shown in the diagrams for context.
Defenders will quickly realise that your clearing cuts aren’t real options, particularly if those cuts are not made with conviction. Be prepared to take throws to the clearing cutters if the defence adapts.
E should be prepared for D4 poaching; see Engaging Defenders
