Defender 1: Bump off
Defender 2: Rotate
Defender 3: Out pace or Pass

Generally Tuisova will be exactly that, but in reverse order:
The first defender gets the “crash”.
The second gets the “flow”
The first defender gets the “crash”.
The second gets the “flow”

Defender 1: Step
Defender 2: Rotate
Defender 3 & 4: Outpace
Defender 1: Step
Defender 2: Rotate
Defender 3 & 4: Outpace

Did you watch Fiji play today?
I think ideally, you’d want to shut him down like this. No wiggle room.
But did you notice what he did when the Georgian 12 latched onto him?
