[QUOTE="Fajardo, post: 343791, member: 44164"] I think we've got different things in mind when thinking about a play like this. Normally a counter-attack would be the first option in a turn-over but it's not like a turn-over from a ruck. The ball is in the air and the defenders looking to take the ball would naturally be jumping for it so as soon as they hit the ground and if they even manage to take it cleanly, there will be no time to distribute it. Keep in mind that this tactic would generally be useless anywhere else on the pitch except for when the attacking team is only a few inches away from the opposition goal line. No doubt it would be pretty difficult to perform but I still think it could be do-able with a really good kicker and of course, practice with the forwards. I'll try it out next month or whenever I can and will post updates. [/QUOTE]
