It depends on the speed and tackling from the forwards.
South Africa were good at this in the World Cup.

When done well it’s a very effective tactic- working well for Saracens and SA.

But in 90% of cases a give away ball.

I've just happened upon and started watching a replay of an England-Scotland match.
I can't sit through a round ball football game (association?), but this rugby is really quite entertaining.
Without being an expert, or more to the point, even having a clue, the game going on seems to be union rules, am I right?
I say that because it looks more like the local school games, but at a much higher skill level, obviously, than the few league games I've seen on television.
And yet looking at the men, I would get the impression that they're professeionals, not amateurs, and I thought league was the professional version.
The gentlemen on the pitch are quite robust, looking more in physique like American football players than round ball football players.
I am amazed at the vertical leaps the receiver make on the inbound, two-handed passes from the side. They get up as high as any seven foot basketball player.
I don't understand the penalties, and the placekicking is very wind bothered, it appears.
The difference in size from an American football is quite obvious, but is it any different from a "league" ball?
I know these are stupid questions, but I wouldn't mind learning a little more about this game.
Maybe I can find a book or something.

So far, a field goal from each side.
No touchdowns or tries or whatever it is when one carries the ball across the goal line.

Utterly horrendous conditions but even that not enough just how unadaptably dumb and repetitive Englands approach is here in the 2nd half! Plan B? What plan B lol
And still Scotland trying to gift it to us

This is such a bad game of rugby. Both teams are bereft of ideas.
Nice that the Scots ignore “respect The kicker”

A respectable defeat, bad game but the bigger pack was going to tell.
Just wondering if Russell would've helped, probably not in a gale.

I thought that they spelled it "Kolkata" now.
And why were they playing for an Indian cup?
