I’m a big rugby fan. I have been one since I was little. Being South African, it kinda gets drilled into your psyche from a very young age. There have been a few brilliant tries over the course of history and I feel that it is my duty to present them on my blog. Hope you all enjoy the videos on this post.

Other options
The bump off is a hidden feature of the game that when used properly can be the difference between being 2nd and 1st. By holding R2, and pushing square while falling in a tackle can result in the player in possession regaining his feet and continue running. Another important skill is the art of "popping" the ball out of a tackle. By holding the pass button on impact in the tackle and then releasing the button as you hit the ground you "offload in the tackle" to a supporting player. The drawback with the tactic is that the player in possession of the ball is more vulnerable to drop the ball if hit hard in the tackle. Also "handing-off" is very important and will inevitably break ground, particularly when using more powerful forwards against smaller backs. The "hand-off" is achieved by pressing both L buttons at the same time or both R buttons at the same time (each "handing-off" in their respective directions) when a tackler dives to tackle you. It is also worth noting that the sidestep or "jink" can be used to great effect to make a break, especially to get past the outhalf in the centre, whereby you can make good yardage up the middle before the fullback comes to tackle you. The "jink" is achieved by pressing the L1 and R1 buttons together. A "garryowen" aka "up 'n' under" is a very high up and under kick (named after the rugby club) designed to put the opposing team under pressure, by allowing the kicking team time to arrive under and compete for the high ball. This tactic is very useful for breaking a particularly solid defence. This kick is achieved by pressing backwards on the directional button and kicking the ball. The more you hold it the higher the kick goes. This takes a bit of practice. Note that if a garryowen is falling over the oppositions try area, the attacking team will always win the catch as long as there is somebody under it. This is a tricky but fool proof way to score.
