Just a few comments. 

If I could do whatever I wanted with a team I would probably not focus so
much on some static form of angled backline on offense. Introducing
all sorts of timed, varied motion in the backline before the ball comes
out of the base of the scrum would potentially generate an explosive,
very difficult to defend, offense. It would require more focus on
execution and timing but the impact on the game would be significant. 

If anyone ever sees the short lineout mentioned on my page being used I
would appreciate if you would drop a line.


Thanks
