Rugby teams often use kicks to win lineouts, smother counter-attacks and gain ground. However, a team's kicking abilities vary greatly. There are many kicks that can be used, and each one can be used in a different way.
The most common kick in rugby is an end-over-end kick. This is when a ball is dropped vertically onto an opponent's kicking foot. This kick is safer than the spiral one. This kick must be done at the right angle. If this is not done, the ball can shave or roll to the side.
Another well-known kick is a box kick. A box kick is a kick where one player kicks the ball across the floor in an aggressive direction. This is a great tool for small wingers and players who are unable to catch high balls. This can be especially useful on a windy day.
Grubber kicked are another powerful tactic. These kicks are disconcerting and stretch the opponent's defense line. Jonny Wilkinson, Beauden Barret and Beauden Barret were both masters at this kick.
You can also try spiral kicks. They are not as common as they used to be but are still performed by top performers like Gavin Henson and Stuart Hogg. These are a difficult and complicated kick to master but they can be used for deceiving defences.
An up and under kick is a kick that goes between the opponent's 10 and 22-metre lines. This is a powerful weapon for teams with a strong lineout. An up and under is when the opposition kicks the ball back at the team.
A similar tactic to chip and chase is Chip and Chase. This tactic is used when there is only one opponent. The opposition must kick to the halfway line, rather than an up and down. This technique has the advantage that the opponent must move quickly to stop the kicker.
A torpedo is another option. Torpedos are kicks that travel the farthest. However, this tactic can be hard to block. They can also be touch finders. They are often the only type of kick used in mini rugby.
A kick for touch often leads to poor results for the kicker’s team. Because opponents often try to get in behind their own tryline, this can happen. By kicking the ball to the opposite side of their tryline, the opponent can exploit any gaps in their defensive line.
No matter what type of kick you use, the goal is to make it difficult for your opponent to catch it. This is because the kicker needs to kick the ball from the hand. Sometimes, players will jump in the air to retrieve the ball. This can cause the ball to become slippy and could lead to a knock on.
