		+	! !! Why? !! Skills required !! % Likelihood (Forward) !! % Likelihood (Back) !! Position on pitch modifier !! Notes: !!
		+	\|-
		+	! Run forward into space
		+	\| Easiest way to make progress up the pitch \|\| Pace \|\| 10 \|\| 25 \|\| Close to the try line this rises to 100% for both forwards and backs \|\| This situation usually only arises if one of the other options has pulled the defensive line out of shape \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Run forward into contact but use footwork and or dummies/feints to evade tackles
		+	\| To utilise a mismatch to make progress up the pitch \|\| Footwork \|\| 2 \|\| 15 \|\| \|\| A mismatch is usually when a back takes on a forward or the player knows he has better footwork than the defender he’s up against \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Run forward into space (to draw a defender and pass before they tackle)
		+	\| To draw the defence out of position making it easier for a teammate to make progress up the pitch \|\| Footwork and handling \|\| 10 \|\| 15 \|\| \|\| The space here is usually a gap between defenders \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Run forward into contact
		+	\| To draw in as many defenders as possible to bring a player down \|\| Strength \|\| 25 \|\| 5 \|\| \|\| This results in a tackle which, if successful, creates a ruck \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Run into contact (to draw a defender and pass after the tackle has been made)
		+	\| To draw in defenders making it easier for a teammate to make progress up the pitch \|\| Strength and handling \|\| 20 \|\| 5 \|\| \|\| If the pass can be made, the tackle does not result in a ruck. Usually the run into contact is not aimed at the player directly opposite the ball carrier but one on either side. \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Pass infield to the next player in the line
		+	\| To provide a better positioned teammate with the opportunity to make progress up the field. Infield prevents the ball going out of bounds (“into touch”) and the more central the position the more options a team has. \|\| Handling \|\| 15 \|\| 10 \|\| Often the only option for a player standing closer to the touchline than any of his teammates \|\| For all passes and the cross field kick, the receiver can either be static or dynamic (running onto the ball at speed). Where he is dynamic he will have a better opportunity to be successful in any Run option. \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Pass outfield to the next player in the line
		+	\| To provide a better positioned teammate with the opportunity to make progress up the field. There is typically more space nearer the touchline in an actual game, so line breaks occur most often on the wings. \|\| Handling \|\| 15 \|\| 10 \|\| Not an option for a player standing closer to the touchline than any of his teammates \|\| \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Miss pass (infield or outfield) to the second next player in the line
		+	\| Passing To provide a better positioned teammate with the opportunity to make progress up the field \|\| Handling \|\| 2 \|\| 4 \|\| \|\| Greater risk of an interception. Can occasionally skip two players but much harder to do successfully \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Crossfield Kick (infield or outfield) to a player three or more next in line
		+	\| To provide a better positioned teammate with the opportunity to make progress up the field \|\| Kicking \|\| 0 \|\| 4 \|\| Most often used to switch play from one wing to another. Greater risk of an interception. \|\| \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Kick long
		+	\| To clear the ball out of defence and/or take advantage of the absence of a sweeper \|\| Kicking \|\| 1 \|\| 2 \|\| More frequent in a team’s own 22 when close to its own try line \|\| \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Kick Short
		+	\| To chip the ball over onrushing defenders to be recovered either by the kicker or a teammate \|\| Kicking \|\| 0 \|\| 4 \|\| Less frequent in a team’s own 22 when close to its own try line \|\| \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Drop Goal
		+	\| To try and score 3pts \|\| Kicking \|\| 0 \|\| 1 \|\| Success is more likely the closer a player is to the try line and to the centre of the pitch. Only top kickers can score from the halfway line \|\| Usually only happens on the last play of the game if a team needs the 3pts to win or force a tie and go into overtime \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	! Notes:
		+	\| \|\| \|\| * Forwards tend to be stronger but have less pace, worse footwork, handling and kicking ability \|\| * Backs tend to be faster, have good footwork and better handling and kicking ability \|\| \|\| \|\|
		+	\|-
		+	!
		+	\| \|\| \|\| * Forwards are better tacklers, jackallers and operate the set pieces (scrum and line out) \|\| \|\| \|\| \|\|
