Not a whole lot has been written about punting schemes, so I wanted to take a chance to teach all of you how rugby punting works. This is not how every team will run it, it is a pretty simple scheme that can be run from a few different formations depending on how teams prefer to punt. The scheme I will be talking about will be run from the shield formation. When I played we called it "red" because we had a right footed kicker and right and red both start with R.

To start with, you want each player on the front line about three yards from each other.
