Core Roles of The Backrow - Part 3: The Link Man

Ball Carrier to Tackler to Link Man — How Do You Fit In To The Picture?

In Part 3: The Link Man, we look at the backrow players who pride themselves on their assists. Their ability to be wherever the ball is and to make the decisive plays for their team. Having a big engine is key to ensuring a constant presence around the field and these players pick their moments to make their presence and option-taking count.

Featuring: Richie McCaw, Lawrence Dallaglio, Justin Tipuric, Duane Vermuelen, George Smith, Alistair Hogg, Jerome Kaino, Faifili Levave and Keiren Read.

Core Roles of The Backrow - Part 2: The Tackler

From The Ball Carrier (Part 1 here: vimeo.com/79083772) to The Tackler.

In this video we look at the backrow players for whom tackling is an addiction. From destructive to desperate tackles, these Loose Forwards crave the bone-on-bone contact most people would shy away from. Having players on your side with their courage and mindset often tends to lift the confidence of those around them—knowing their tackling impact can not only intimidate the opposition but swing momentum back in your favour just when you need it most.

Featuring: Willem Alberts, Schalk Burger, Dwayne Haare, Kieran Read, Ben Mowen, Ryan Kankowski, Richard Hill, Jerry Collins, Sebastian Chabal, Dan Lydiate, Samu Manoa and Akapusi Qera.

Core Roles of The Backrow - Part 1: The Ball Carrier

Behold Rugby's Thoroughbreds. The Backrow (or Loose Forward) has traditionally been the domain of the fittest, fastest and most athletic players in the forward pack. The skill-set required to play across the backrow is arguably the most varied and having more than one of these core abilities sets players apart even in today's modern game. Capturing the array of backrow skills into one package would require hours of viewing time, so it's only logical to split them up! In this video we look at Ball Carriers and some cracking exponents of this core role. These rampant runners set out to punch holes in opposition defences through sheer size and power, winning that all important 'advantage line' for their team-mates to profit from. Featuring: Mamuka Gordodze, Opeti Fonua, Willem Alberts, Billy Vunipola, Kieran Read, Sisa Koyamaibole, Sean O'Brien, Toby Faletau, Rocky Elsom, Chris Masoe, Louis Picamoles and Radike Samo.
