When do you use a backspin pass like this? I see the league guys throw them a lot but I hadn't figured out why.
@RugbyGuide9 күн бұрын
It really does seem that League use it all the time, and I think because it's easy to catch and pass without changing your hands as much as you would to throw a spin pass. It's not much either way, of course, but the backspinning motion provides lift so it goes much further than a normal floated push pass. I often recommend it for the reason above, but also that I often coach younger and newer players (women currently) who can't yet master a spin pass (i.e. where grip is so important). So to get some distance, go for the backspin!

Tell me about it! It's why I offer no 'rules' to my players, but some simple guidelines and a LOT of practice where the conditions are realistic. They have to get used to the pressure and timing, testing options, without it being on game day (too often, the way teams train leave it to that). Now, most 10s (at the higher levels anyway) spend a lot of time hiding behind forward pods. :D

Thanks for the message! It started with me putting things I made for my team and coach friends here... then thought about making them public rather than 'unlisted'. I'm all about keeping the game reasonably simple, but ambitious. Give players the tools to explore rather than scripting it (my first sport was American football, so I enjoyed getting the chance to be more free in rugby).

International board forbids high tackle in which heads can collide because of the possible injuries and concussions. As a former 72 kilos rugby player I never got so hurt at my head as when I tackled low in the legs. Not everytime the tackle is so clean as you show: knees can impact your head and hurt you much more than colliding with opponent's head; head on wrong side can cause serious injuries to your neck and if the ball carrier gains just one meter after the tackle you get exposed with your head to his feet and stand on the wrong side of the ruck (I played in the "stamping" era...). This is not to criticize your video: great job, low tackles are the best to stop heavyer players. Just to say that International board rule has only caused a bunch of non rugbish red cards in this RWC, not protecting any athletes in any way.

I was schooled in wales in the 1980s. This was the technique we were taught to tackle with. Also, we were told to run at gaps, with a support runner on our shoulder and pop the ball to him as you take the tackle. Why has rugby become so complicated and dreary? Oh and BTW, the two teachers that taught us also developed 3 future British Lions out of that school, Neil Jenkins, Gethin Jenkins and Michael Owen.

It's so annoying, especially after they elevated 'touch judge' status to 'assistant referee', that offside isn't policed much better. I didn't watch, but are you saying they were able to read what Scotland was going to do? IMO, rugby has got far too predictable, further playing into the hands of good defence.

@@RugbyGuide SA played well, tough, clever team and they close the game down really well when they are in the lead. What SA did was when Scotland passed the ball out down the line the SA would rush up to the Scottish players about to receive the ball. So on many occasions Finn Russell had no one to pass to. Finn russell would be passing backwards to a SA player. Is this legal

@@grayjohn6332 If the defensive player started from an onside position (behind the last foot of the ruck) when the ball came out, there's no offside in open play until the next tackle/ruck. It's seen in those moments when someone offloads while falling to a chasing defender who runs the other way - he's not offside because the tackle hasn't been completed yet.

I recently learned a valuable tackling lesson the hard way. I had to make a head on open field tackle on a bigger player. I was tired and failed to close the space before he picked up speed. I knew I had to go low but I came in with my feet to far forward tried to bend at the waist instead of at the knees resulting in a torn hamstring during the tackle. I wanted to share my lesson. when going low adjust your target height at the knees and never bend over excessively at the waist. make sure your feet are well behind your ass so you are not putting tension on your hamstrings. quads should be driving.

Remember to chop your feet to avoid sitting down. Shortening your stride will help keep your feet behind your centre of gravity. It also helps to prevent overcommitting and allowing the carrier side step the tackle too easily.

Yeah, I totally agree! I made this so long ago that I forget my stance, but suspect I mention that they're risky. So many times, players risk knocking themselves out attempting them, but I also worry that they'll break a leg / ruin a knee! Also seems rare that they wrap, smashing the shoulder in before they can even attempt to.

Thanks a bunch! It's such a delicate thing that, I think, takes a ton of practice to work out, and against defenders who bring what your typically opponents do. Too flat, you get smashed; too deep, and you're chasing territory you already gained, with the risk of getting caught further back than where you started.

I suppose it mostly depends on whether support is on-hand. So I'm not a fan of individuals deciding to pick without knowing who's behind them. If there's a big gap / advantage, and support deems they can get there, call it! But if there's a tiny bit of congestion around the breakdown and space out wide, I tend to say go there!
