The General Fly-halves tend to be more elusive, skillful, quick thinking, tactically aware players. You will strive to get the ball over the advantage line by: running hard and straight by running elusively, being able to side step with long kicks to gain ground with chip kicks to avoid opposition tacklers with high "up-and-unders" for backs to charge on to with grubber kicks to get in behind opponents with passes to faster players in better positions with cut out passes to create overlaps with moves to confuse the opposition with dummies to supporting players with passes back inside to rampaging loose forwards by looping round after passing, to create an "extra player" You are constantly working to drive forward, "make ground" and move the ball to the weakest area of the opposing defensive line so you can carry the ball through to score.
