    Fdk, deliberate pass into an opponent (?)

    sometime towards the end of SA v Fr QF4, SA - just about 76:04 or thereabouts - are deep in Frances half. A ruck forms, SA ball. A French player 9blue 4) is offside following a previous tackle and sensibly stays behind the ruck, crouching, to minimise any possible interference and PK until...

    France v Uruguay - Pool A

    brain dump France v Uruguay ... French 2nd string eventually beat a gutsy but fundamentally ineffectual Uruguayan team. Shaun Edwards wont be happy with the line breaks. Uruguay's set piece was way below any use. Scrum was soundly beaten the entire game, and it was only the French scrum's...

    How to stop a maul without a card

    collapsing a maul close to one's own line is an immediate YC - for dangerous play AIUI. So instead of doing that, might running round the back and grabbing the ball (ie offside) and preventing the BC for taking it further forward not be a YC ? As that isn't dangerous ? asking for a friend...

    tackle height, no dipping and pick and go.

    As a vfery generalised apporach/doisucssion without meaning to get mired in "itz roonin the game innit guvnor" type debates.... thinking about the drop the tackle height concept and with regard that AIUI the french implementation was that ball carriers cannot drop height into a tackle... how...
