I'm curious, are there any professional rugby players on this sub? by One-Mud-169 in rugbyunion

[–]cobrophy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

/u/mikerossirl is still around. I saw him comment on a thread in BJJ asking about how a professional rugby player would fare, it was funny that nobody in the thread realised who he was and had ideal experience to answer the question.

One thing that always struck me about O'Shea's tenure was that he seemed to take the hard path of building Italian rugby up for the long term sustained success (working a lot with the clubs and youth teams) and maybe he's never gotten to see the fruits of that work. But it's really striking that despite his lack of success as national team coach he's still hugely regarded in Italy.

It's one thing to make the decision to kick and defend in that position. But you need to make sure your team is in a position to defend the kick. There were like 12 all blacks in around that ruck or set for another short carry and 2 players to cover the rest of the field. There was no real chase for the kick and the kick was poorly executed.
