Box kick
Unless I’m completely simple I don’t see the purpose of a box kick unless it goes high enough for the kickers team to be able to get to the ball at the same time as the opposition. Prime guilty party is our own Ben Young’s who is employing it more and more.All it does is give the ball to the opposition and there is little to be gained. Scrum halves must start to employ other methods dealing with balls from a ruck rather than the interminable kicks. Perhaps some excercises in the imagination a la DuPont yes?
