You walk a tightrope./spanbr /br /span class="articletext""Slowing ball down is one of the keys to success in Test rugby because it gives your defensive line more time to get organised./spanbr /br /span class="articletext""At the same time, if I can turn over their ball, we have a superb backline that is very dangerous on the counter-attack. So if I give the guys an opportunity on both counts I will have done my job."/spanbr /br /Funnily enough it was the Lions' Welsh fetcher supreme Martyn Williams who was slowing down the ball in the third test, as he got it lodged between his legs, preventing the Boks from taking a quick tap.br /br /Brussow got frustrated, then literally manhandled Williams as he tried to shake the ball loose as if he were dusting off an old rug. The comical incident led to this crazy video, and a move we've named the Brussow Bounce. Don't try this at home.br /br /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Discussion Point:/span It seems that these days players get away with a helluva lot by preventing a side from taking a quick tap when a penalty or free kick is awarded. Should referees be stricter in governing this offence, or is it just part of the game? /spanbr /br /centerobject width="400" height="288"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mFeozdjrBnkamp;hl=enamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mFeozdjrBnkamp;hl=enamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="288"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time:/span 01:33/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-7890431151732233251?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com'//divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=yhtWd8zMbSs:rKNshmfZvYY:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/yhtWd8zMbSs" height="1" width="1"/ More...
