[QUOTE="jonny24, post: 680651, member: 62880"] The maul question would depend on the team strategy/gameplan. If the goal is quick recycling from the ruck, then yes, you want to go to ground. Make your initial contact with the opposition as hard as you can, basically try to knock them on their ass. This will give you a little bit of separation which you can then use to go to ground cleanly and have your teammates for the ruck over you. This should only be done if your support is there for you though, otherwise you need to keep your feet and hang on to the ball until help arrives (or you get tackled). If, at that stage, when a maul is essentially formed, but you don't WANT to maul, it can be difficult to get to ground. The other team is trying to hold you up because if the ref calls it a maul and it collapses, then they will get the put in. What you want is for your team mates to help you get to ground in order to set up the ruck. And welcome to TRF! It's a great forum, you'll learn a lot here. [/QUOTE]
