[@sam_maund3r]

Yaay! 7's season is easy now!! :D :D :)

[@IAMTHELORE69]

Can someone explain it looks almost like the ball makes contact with his ankle and the top of the boot is this correct it should the ball make contact cleanly with just the boot?

[@FennessyMusic]

I think though with a rugby ball it doesn't make too much of a difference - more ankle/shin = more distance maybe?

[@chaoticspear]

Good question. My guess is that because it's a restart, he is trying to get under the ball and kick it higher, but over a shorter distance. This allows your players to chase the ball and compete more effectively. To kick that ball high and short, you need to let it bounce higher off the ground so you can get your foot under it - which is why it looks like it is hitting his ankle. He is dropping the ball from height, getting a good bounce and striking from underneath. If he didn't let the ball bounce high enough/hit it too early, then the ball would stay lower and go further than desired for a kick off.

inpresionante!!!!

[@LionelFoxiene]

Hey its 2023🎉 are u still alive

[@krystleirvin6733]

I wonder what the difference is between soccer and rugby. They had rugby at my first college.

[@daniabucko]

[@jackhalloran920]

[@rorysmith9382]

NEW IDEA How about a world cup of rugby union drop kicks. to see who is the best (team or player) in the world at taking drop kicks in rugby union and rugby league. Players would not get tired doing this. Diolch.

[@fjbutch]

Cool...

[@munzico]

that's the whole point... it's a drop kick restart!

[@fATyET1]

Like yourself? (this is Hunter)

[@94656abc]

good job on your life. must ave some future

[@Stormus777]

True but thats not the point of a restart the point is for the ball to go high and not far so it gives your team a chance to fight for possesion with the opponents whereas if you kicked it far and not high one of the players from the other team would catch it and have possesion straight away.

[@zac1794]

extremely late reply but the issue with kicking it short is that it often goes to the opposing team anyway. Quite unlikely that your team will ever get the ball from a short kick. + kicking it far and high gives your team enough time to tackle the opposing team far into their end, thus practically forcing them to kick and letting you re-gain posession.

[@sisypheanexistence8955]

Yeah tru what would D. Carter know? Total crap player of one of the worst teams from the worst rugby nations

[@markcheckley3715]

I can't completely agree with this. Before kicking off, a tactical decision must be made, identical to the decision which has to be made in American Football. Are you going for the "safe option"? This is to kick the ball long, conceding possession but making it very difficult for the opposition to attack directly from that possession. In that case you are going to thump the ball as hard as possible down towards the corner, leaving the receiver with a poor angle for a touch-kick and putting as much height on the ball as possible so your colleagues can get pressure on the kick receiver and snuff out any attempt to pass the ball infield and run it back at you. In the modern game, this is the more usual option, and the safest one. The alternative is what our cousins on the gridiron would call the "onside kick", where you take the risk of giving the ball to the opposition in a good attacking position in exchange for at least a reasonable chance of getting possession yourself. Easier to execute on the Rugby field than on the Gridiron, this is the option which will be chosen when the kicking team needs to compete for possession because they are behind and are "chasing the game". In this situation the technique will, indeed, be to get the ball as high as you possibly can and only just over the ten metre line, so your tall forwards have a chance to compete for the ball in the air and try to palm it down to their colleagues following immediately behind them. They are two entirely different kicks and a decision must be made, before kicking the ball, as to which best serves the interests of the kicking team, dependent upon the state of the game.

[@Tom-yp4mg]

[@SmashingPixels]

you clearly don't know too much about rugby because dan carter is probably the best kicker in the last decade or so

[@megatron5644]

[@jarlathtaylor7030]
