France run the Sweep twice in the same match. The first creates a score; the second gives Wales time to recover into the passing lane and intercept.

BuildM2 carries square from the 10-metre setup.
M2 pulls D3 and D4 forward. L2 stays outside and slightly deeper instead of showing the sweep early.
Play from the start or drag to inspect the touch, half pass and final three-on-two. The camera and player sizes stay fixed.
Walk the shape first, then add two defenders. Require the sweeper to create width, straighten and decide whether to run or pass before the lane closes.
