DUDE MOST OF THE ATTACK FORMS YOU MENTION YOU LOOSE POSSESSION. THATS WHY I PROMOTE THE MAUL AND 50/22 rule (see my links for explanation).
Dude, if I understand your definition of the FWTD, it is a single line across the pitch. So if you kick behind it, why do you lose possession? The kick is into acres of space, and your guys are steaming into space faster than the FWTD can turn and get back up to speed.
If you let the FB collect the ball, that is simply poor attacking execution. Practice harder - don't change the laws.

You simply take a calculated risk to regain possession - the better the execution the lower the risk. The maul has it's place, certainly, but who wants to see the game dominated by them?

..."No defensive scheme is perfect. The FWTD is vulnerable to 'back on forward' mismatches, grubbers or chips through/over the line and deep kicks, all of which force the defence to turn and break up. Whichever method you adopt, pace in making and exploiting the break is the key. "...

"The generals of WWI invented the tank to overcome this strategy, what is rugby unions ‘tank’ to be?"
Perhaps a dynamic rolling maul could be the Tank. Concentrate your attack at a single point in the defence. Defence either crumbles at that point & you break through, or as defence is sucked in to stop tank, gaps appear out wide, so vunerable to quick wide ball or diagonal kick & chase.
Hang on, isn`t this what already happens in the game!!!!!
No matter what the defensive stratagy, a clever coach/player/team will find the weakest link & attack it.
Except the IRB with its ELV will virtually destroy the maul, so perhaps you are right.
Every game will end up at 0 - 0 draws, how exciting.

Defined: The players in the defending team pan out in a horizontal line from touch line to touch line. I would describe this play as a WWI style trench defence, moving the game into stalemate. The generals of WWI invented the tank to overcome this strategy, what is rugby unions ‘tank’ to be?
