Wide or tight both blocker shapes can manipulate the defence if done effectively. It also depends on where the defence is showing you the space or how you control the defence. Good vid ;)

Be better if everyone starts and square up on the defenders outside shoulder, then shape up for a block, spreads the defence and makes bigger holes. Ball player runs square then kicks out on an overs to make 2nd defender to bite.

Back in the day this was called shepherding, and penalised. Sending blocking players in FRONT of the ball, with the intention to prevent a defending player from attempting to tackle the ball carrier.
Technically it still is a penalty offence under IRB Rule #9.3, but the refs today don’t see it that way..
