Kick to score has become a powerful attacking ploy especially with the detailed organised defences that are now common. As with all attacking plays it is about keeping defence thinking and giving the illusion the attack is running the ball in hand and exploiting the space behind the defensive line or out wide where there may be space to create a 1v1 compete with the attacker running on to the ball at a static or retreating defender. Most kick to score plays have a set up play prior which in effect is the same set up
option attacking play where the team run the ball. They attack will then (although they will have done their analysis) be able to check that they are defending as they thought and ensure the space is where it was thought. They will then look to run the same play and deploy the kick through or over for the attacking line to stream through with the defence thinking the same option running play is being utilised. ” i call this showing them the magic trick “.Fool them into thinking they know what you are doing and then you show them the real outcome”. The success is predominantly down to the skill of the kicker as they are under pressure and need to be able to deliver accurately with empathy and weight inti the correct area to allow the attacking runners to stream through. You can be creative with your ideas and you are always reliant in the bounce of the ball which as we know can go anywhere!!!…for example France’s opportunity against England this six nations perfectly executed kick to score off second receiver yet the bounce just went away from Rougerie
