Another reason why the defensive line of wait and hold is a bad strategy is that the attacking team on the 6th are in a position of an attacking play such as an attacking kick, running on the 6th. This gives the attacking team more opportunities and more sets to score tries rather than having a defensive system which has good line speed and limiting the yardage on a set of 6 resulting in the opposition having to rely on a clearing kick rather than an attacking kick or play. Minimising the opposition yardage in a set of 6 limits the opportunities to score tries
