Interesting explanation from NO (starting at about 1.05 about the ruck at the very beginning of the clip) which has confused me almost as much as it appears to have confused Tomos Wiliams. I appreciate the main thrust is telling him to use his feet to roll the ball to the back rather than his hands but otherwise:
1. Is he saying that once the ball is available from the main body of the ruck and he has called "use it" he will allow a long ruck to then be constructed, allowing the 9 to move the ball to the back of a 'long ruck' providing he uses his feet or is he saying that even if the long ruck has already been constructed he will call "use it" when the ball gets beyond the hindmost point of the main body of the ruck?
2. Should we be calling "use it" when the ball is clearly won or when it gets to the back of the ruck if as in this clip the two aren't the same.
3. Should the 5 seconds start from the call of "use it" or when the ball is at the back of the ruck?
