i reckon they should but there just overpaid

The idea is to hit the person just below the knees with your shoulder because if he doesn't have his legs he won't be able to move. Also go in to the tackle hard because if you don't it is going to hurt you more. Here is another tip when playing in a game introduce yourself to your opposite number then the scrumhalf then fly half (when i say introduce smash him) especially useful for back row players. so you go down on youre knees hip shoulder

Things that may happen through when they are young may inspire them to want to prove everyone wrong e.g. ( People say that you will never make it). Other things such as role models, or aspirations. By Mark McAlees

In 1995, the same as in other countries.

Two points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat. No bonus points scheme in action.

Pro football players are usual 5"10 to 6"8 but now some of the best player are the shorter not smaller like Mauric Jones drew hes 5"6 , bob sanders defense's player of the year in 08 he is 5"7. Also Ray rice he rushed for over 1,300 yards and against the patriots in the playoffs he rushed for over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns.

It is hard to say, some of the highest paid Indian Premier League players get paid huge amounts of money but it on a year long basis, some of the top European footballers would have still got paid more.

The first international game of "rugby football" was played IN Scotland between Scotland and England The game was played at Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, the home ground of the then Edinburgh Academicals, on 27 March 1871. Scotland won the game

depending on the position rugby players need many different characteristics in order to to perform at the highest level:

Frontrow; all need to be heavy and hard to move with wide sholders. All need to be fairly squat with powerfull legs to drive in the scrum and rucks. Hookers need to be more agile then props, these days hookers are lean and muscular but similar weight to that of a back rower, they need sharp minds and skill with ball in hand. Some one like Szarzewski has the ideal build.

Second row; need to be the tallest players on the pitch as they are usually lifted in line outs and their height gives them excellent leaverage in scrums when driving. It is usefully if they are aggressive, and powerful but to be honest their specific jobs don't require much jsut someone tall and strong. Never the less the second rows must be able tocarry th bll ruck and tackle just as well as anyone else on the pitch.

Backrow; usually about 6ft- 6ft6 is the range of the average back rowers. Thwy must all be keen ball cariers and physically capable of making it over the gain line, this requires powerful legs and a strong upper body combined with a decent amount of weight to provide the moementum.

Scrum half; often the smallest player on the pitch, physical requirements are power ful sholders chest lats and arms as the scrum half must be able to pass overgreat distances when needed, it is also usefull if they have quick feet and powerful legs to jink out of any situations when a 6ft 7 second row is chagring towards them.

Flyhalf; physically doesnt require much muscle as the flyhalf controlls the movement of the ball, this means kicking for territory and exploiting a 3 on two are his areas of expertise, although they do not physically require much muscle it is usefull in defense and when he decides to take a chance on his own

Inside centre; needs to be big fairly tall but muscley and powerful in order to take the crash balls off ten. He also needs strong legs in order to build moementum an aintain seed

Outside centre, needs to be more mobile then the inside as they usually exploit gaps and holes leftby wingers therefore they can be less big but just as powerful and quick

Wing; depending on te tye o wingr you need then they can be a number fo different types, forexample typicaly thyare small but quick and jinky able to move their own body wegh extremly well where as someone like jonah lomu was 6 ft 5 and didn't bother tryingto get around them simply run over them mch like banahan these days.

Full back requires the same physicall presence as a outside centre, only they liek to run around a bit mro ad show off so more orless same shape jsut dfferent types of ply

well it is hard to explain but ill try.

its where the team trys to change the direction of play e.g if the ball is being passed out left and they want to go right they will use a switch pass, the player with the ball runs at a slight angle to the left and the receiver runs at a slight angle to the right and their paths should cross but the player with the ball is slightly ahead, turns his torso to the left and pops the ball at the receiver who is running in a different direction. look at this the path of the receiver is R and the player with the ball is B, where they cross is C.

......B......R

.......Z...R

.........C

......X....B

....R........B

..R............B

R ...............B

(IGNORE THE DOTS) the Z represents when the player with the ball passes and the X represents where the receiver catches it.

hope this helps and this was the easiest way i could demonstrate it to you i hope this clears things up

It you are talking pressure as in stress -- yes . Like all occupations a play is expected to perform for the 80 minutes they are on the pitch. When doing well players react well because their mood is high. When games are being lost pressure is brought on by the potential of being dropped, take out of the squad, replaced or in some instances transferred or plain sacked.

When that pressure is on the player can lose focus on the job in hand and try to "go it alone". This means that team mates see mistakes, passes not ,ade, essential kicks being missed as the concentration move from the game to the "what if I dont get this done,".

In the very early days of football it was rare to see a lineman that weighed over 250 pounds. But as training regiments became more sophisticated the weights have risen. Hall of Fame offensive guard Gene Upshaw, who played between 1967-1981, weighed 255 pounds. Hall of Fame defensive end Gino Marchetti, who played between 1952-1966, weighed 245 pounds. Today's linemen almost always weigh at least 280 pounds and many weigh over 300 pounds.

Plus steroids play a large part in the drastic weight increase in today's linemen.

The Worcester Rugby Football was founded in 1871 by the Reverend Francis John Ede. The first known game was played on November 8, 1871 against the Royal Artillery Rugby Club.
