playing blindside

[ashman_backrow7]

well lads,

i recently got moved to the backrow caus i was starting to become to light for front row... any advice on how to play blindside? i was left flat footed once or twice and i really think this is a position im suited to.

any advice would be fantastic lads

Smash anything that moves if that helps.

Can't edit for some reason.

Anyway I think it depends a lot on you for example Stephen Ferris and Dan Lydiate are pretty different players but are both premium blindsides. I think the main thing is you have to get through a lot of work loads of rucks, plenty of carries and a high tackle count are important. It's also handy if you're a lineout option.

my advise is to pretend your doing working really hard and just sit in the rucks and sleep

Dan Lydiate.
What more do you need to know?

Tom Smith does that every match.

Oh no, Tom Smith gets up to plenty. Running after players after missing tackles. Giving away penalties. He is very versatile; he can give away a penalty anywhere, anytime, for anything.
