[QUOTE="captainamerica, post: 2097"] Actually, we used to use a drop goal as a good dummy, but only when our fly-half was getting a lot of pressure. Our fly-half would take the ball on a slight run, stop, and begin an ellaborate drop goal motion. Opposition would usually freeze, and come straight for him with arms in the air (as in to block it). He'd then flick it inside or out to someone running an angle at pace and more often than not it worked a charm (usually only done once in a match at the very most. Unless you suss them to be [b]real [/b]stupid.) Not to confuse you, CRG, but the ball never left his hands and he never dropped it. He only did the motion (look to post, move ball into that 'swing' before dropping it, and then stepping) which is fairly distinct and only takes a second to sell. Otherways to fake dropkicks, and actually kick the ball, would be exploiting a gap behind the defense and turning your drop into a well placed grubber, or even pop-kick/chip over their back line.
