Just a topic I’d like to discuss. :chin:
A technique a lot of teams have been using for a while now and more so in the last 6N (sorry SH guys don’t have Sky so can’t comment on S?? 3N).
An obvious ploy, as a player joins the ruck they lift the leg of people in the ruck to make them less effective specially if they have “hands on”, if they’ve only got 1 leg on the ground they’re off balance and have less power in their upper body. Also if they then get dumped to the ground they are required to let the ball go (off their feet now!)
Are you happy with this?
How do you manage it?
Is it effectively tackling somebody without the ball?
