Rugby stuff?

Question

what are the 3 skills that are essential in the sport of Rugby?

Answer 1

I'd say the first is Ball Sense, that will reflect in the technique of passing and handling. The second skill I'd say would be overall body fitness, stamina for the full time of 80 minutes. And lastly I'd say that you need think quickly on your feet, decision making skills is so important, a decision in a question of split seconds could make or break a game.

Answer 2

the three obvious ones are

fitness

ball skills

toughness

these are required for any contact sport.

the not so obvious are the ones im going to mention. and they are all somewhat related.

i define ball sense a little differently than him^^^^^^^. what he describes as ball sense i would call ball skill.

i define ball sense as knowing what to do when you have the ball. when you dont have the ball. when you are in support on offense or defense. knowing what to do in each situation is what i call ball sense. anyone can catch and pass. thats a must for just about all stick and ball sports.

if you are the runner off the ball, its picking the correct line to run. you always run in the gap. if the ball carrier is running across the field you run straight up the field. etc

adaptability. thinking on your feet. read and react. thats the second thing. its part of the first though. you see what they give you and play accordingly.

staying switched on. not turning off mentally when you have been penalised and are going back ten. always watching the ball. always knowing what the call is. knowing when you can take that quick penalty, the quick lineout, the blindside run.
