[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 948058, member: 55747"] or a drop kick. I know a few people who have tried to kick the ball after the first bounce to prevent the ref from calling a knock on, myself included. I was in my team's 22 and the kick went about 5 mts far. Referee had to wait a minute before he warned me because he couldnt stop laughing. On a related note, I once saw a team that performed the following play: fixed formation, say scrum, SH passes to FH. FH passes a bit of a high flat pass to 1C. 1C goes towards the ball and without using his hands heads the ball straight from the pass over the rushing defence line, a good 10-15 meters. 2C and FB chase at full speed, open enough to cover potential bounces but close enough to support each other. The defence never saw what hit them. Some of the most creative stuff i've ever seen. Not sure if a ref might call it for being against good sportsmanship or something. The ref there did not. I asked after the game about it and they said their success rate was terrible with that play, that it had cost them quite a few tries against them but that is. The pass and the header have to be reasonably accurate and that is quite difficult to perform at speed. [/QUOTE]
