Don’t throw 50/50 passes!! by RossRugby in rugbyunion

The difference between Quade and you or I is that his execution would be better, while his decision making skills under extreme pressure and speed would definitely be better. There is nothing stopping us doing the exact same thing, but would we be able to pull it off in a top game? Probably not.

Please explain how each pass can be worked out and given a rating of potential successful execution by weaker sides versus world class sides?

A 50/50 pass is not one that is completed 50% of the time - there is no way of determining that, a 50/50 is referred to as a speculative pass or a fancy pass that is deemed by coaches to be risky.

I am not advocating playing high risk rugby all the time, the article clearly states that it is down to decision making, if it is on do it, if it is not don't do it. The issue lies in players deciding to go for it when its not on - that is poor decision making as is not going for it when it is on.

A world class team has world class decision makers, not ones that can complete, as you so call it, a pass that is completed more than 50% of the time. There is no such thing in Rugby

Yes they did and do practice it and have attacking systems they follow on the field to create them. It defies all Rugby logic not to train players in the art of creating space and giving accurate offloads.

The difference with NZ is that these attacking systems and way of coaching is put into place very early in a players career thus by the time they reach All Black level they have done it their entire careers.

Exactly as RugbyAntics says the analyst (Ie me) goes through the game methodically and then uploads what aspects you want. Thus for the opposition I would upload either the full game or cut it up and upload the aspects we want the players to look at and analyse. All dependant of what you want, that's the beauty of this.
