A "Rugby-style" Offense???

Thanks. I forgot about that formation.

So I got a rough draft of the playbook done this evening, and I gotta say: THIS is gonna be fun.

Well guys, I did it. Just finished creating the "Rugby offense." I'll upload it on SimSports later today. Here's the gist:

28 formations, 127 plays

13 Flexbone
9 Shotgun
5 Wingbone
1 Split Backs

Staples of the offense: toss, screen, sweep

No huddle

I'm thinking Hawai'i. I found the former rugby player I'm gonna use as coach, and he's from New Zealand. Thought it'd be a cool story line to say that he wanted to stay close to home, since he's not too familiar with the USA. Plus, Hawaii's pretty terrible right now and a lot of their players are Pacific Islander, like him, and are familiar with the sport of rugby.

There's a Pistol formation called Train that would fit very nicely with what you're brewing up.
