I have heard about this "new formation" but in reality Williams has to favour one side or the other ... otherwise he will be doing one hell of a lot of running off the ball. OK sometimes he will pop up on the right but he can't always play wide left & right. I'm sure Burgess & Williams know more than me so it will be good to see how this pans out.
This was the traditional Stand-Off role, when I 1st started watching the game.
Both halfbacks covered the whole pitch, but the Scrumhalf would tend to play most of the game from the middle section, while the Stand-Off had more freedom to follow the attacking play.
When the team is defending, then they will have a side of the field to position and defend otherwise their defensive duties in the middle of the field would be too tiring.
