This isn't difficult I know, but it actually looks better than 'proper' rugby.

I'm guessing you never really played 'proper' rugby Factual?!

I guess you like watching modern football where players fall over when breathed on?!

Often use it a as a coaching tool, its very effective for helping players understand field position and play patterns etc.

Played it on a coaching course last year. Effective way of teaching tackling but not great when you can't run away from a 7ft tall and wide prop!!!

That is why you should always carry some raw meat or offal, just throw it to one side and the prop is guaranteed to follow it.
