3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
When an overlapping runner appears, the defender must watch two players at once and one always comes free. Round the outside is an overlap; bursting inside (the half-space) is an underlap. A full-back's moment to shine.
On the call you'll hear“The full-back overlaps! Past him and free!”
