The document describes a rugby tactics called 4Pods that involves dividing the field into four pods and positioning players within the pods. The tactics aims to break the defense early by passing quickly between pods and continuously attacking the midfield to stretch the defense. It allows for options on either side of rucks by moving pods and exploiting numerical advantages, mismatches, or delayed positioning to attack weak points in the defense.

2. Feature
●
Placing the players by dividing the ground
●
Break the defense at an early recycling
→ Positioning in the pod to narrow
●
Pass is faster than people
→ Positioning between the pod to wide
●
By attacking continuously the midfield,you can attack a weak
point of the defense that stretch, can grouping the defense.
●
Possible to use a ruckside options(Pod1,Pod2). By moving
the ruckside of the pod,can induce defense.
