Underrated

Nice work!

[@react-rugby]

This is great analysis and an excellent tip for aspiring scrumhalves (although I would be careful running ahead of a kick because you can be penalized for that)

[@ContactCoach]

Thanks for having a look, Edward. You're right with the kick- definitely have to be mindful to stay on side!

[@BTBDech]

We know Dupont "studies" a lot rugby and loves Aaron Smith: I think we can guess his runs were inspired by Smith's.

[@williamfiji6946]

I agree with you @ BTBDech

[@canadiancontent352]

Good lines for an old school 7 as well. Some players really struggle with this

Crisp pill to Ben Smith. On target and in stride as well. Money ball 🔥🔥

[@palochama5090]

Great video mate...what app did you use for the editing of the vid

[@ContactCoach]

Hi Palo- thanks for having a look. I kept this one nice a simple and used IMovie.

[@LuisAndrade-vg1hf]

Aaron Smith best scrum half in the world also looks like a great teammate and a great person 👍🏻

[@paulthomson2288]

was coached this nearly 40 years ago in high school by ex all Blacks from the 60's.

[@ContactCoach]

Love hearing this, Paul- anything you would add?

[@AaronSmith-wz7hg]

obviously me

[@benoitlepke2746]

Any HK Nomads/ HK Scottish footage to be analysed? 😉

[@ContactCoach]

I do have a few bits of old footage floating around! I remember Remi jumping in the lineout with his back to the ball 😂. Fun times!

[@benoitlepke2746]

@@ContactCoach haha memorable

[@bizarre4427]

Try scored by George Bridge not Barrett

[@ContactCoach]

Good spot. You're right. An awesome line from Bridge off Barrett. 👊

Im a springbok fan, honestly it's sad this rugby analysts has just picked up this tactic recently,I ask him to please watch Fiji's Waisale Serevi he has been doing this from the last 10yrs of his ruby career....Serevi has baffled his opponents simply majority of times doing this tactics....Rugby Wins.

[@ContactCoach]

Agreed, this has been around a long long time but it's sometimes nice to bring to the modern-day context/footage. Thanks for watching, Bann.

[@bannmann8942]

@@ContactCoach thank you Sir

[@littlesnokz_838]

Bridge was the one who scored the first try...

[@ContactCoach]

You're 100% right. Barrett offloads to Bridge. I made the wrong call in the video. 👊

[@Centre14]

0:15 smith is offside

[@miguelangel3254]

in open play there's no offside line... so no offside

[@danieljoseph9553]

Seems wrong doesn't it, because he is in front of the ball when the ball is kicked, which makes Smith offside.. so he should retreat 10m. Nobody ever puts him onside during that passage of play. Usually a winger is putting everyone onside because he is the only player onside when the kick is made.. sprints forward to in affect puts everyone on your team onside. Comment above saying it's not offside because it's open play is incorrect I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong

[@miguelangel3254]

@@danieljoseph9553 I think you're right, didn't take into account the kick on my comment

[@samoangentleman9027]

I don't think he was offside because he didn't touch the ball from the kick or made a play from the kick. He was just anticipating the break and received a pass from the winger. If Aaron was the receiver from the kick and was in front then he will be offside. But once he was behind the ball receiver he's on side.

[@miguelangel3254]

@@samoangentleman9027 but you can't run to the ball if your offside, you have to retreat or at least stop your run

[@Skiwi685]

Shame about your accent.

[@ContactCoach]

Hopefully, the annotations help so you can watch on mute next time 😉
