Skill Weakness
1) Left hand spin pass
> The performer showed strong passes of right hand, but while passing with his left it
was clear the performer was worse on this side due to the ball falling short and not
pushing his hands all the way through. Due to this, there was a loose ball and
opportunity for the opposition to win possession and score a try. Instead of a pass
with clear linear motion,he struggled to extend the elbow and follow through so the
performer's passes were inconsistent. This demonstrated no bilateral transfer from
right to left hand as he was clearly able to pass it on his right but unable to transfer
this onto his other limb being his left hand and a clear weakness.(Paper 2)

Justification

2) Another clear skill weakness of the performer was their tackling. Instead of a low
body position with a low centre of mass for stability the performer was upright and
instead tried grabbing the shirt of the opposition. Due to this there were various
mistackles allowing the opposition to gain significant ground and eventually score a
try. Furthermore, due to tackling being an externally paced skill with more stimuli, the
timings depend heavily on the actions and reactions of the oppositions making it
more difficult to time their tackle. (Paper,1and 2)

3) A third clear skill weakness was the fullback's hand off. During the preparation phase
they had the ball under the wrong hand therefore trying to hand off with his weaker
and less dominant side of the body lacking any real force towards the opposition.
This is due to a lack of kinesthesis awareness and failure to apply the correct motor
programme. This aligns with the cognitive stage/ associative stage of learning where
learners are still developing an understanding of skill requirements and it isn’t
performed with unconscious thought like an autonomous learner. Due to this it was
an easy turnover for the opposition to gain possession and score a try. (Paper 2)

Skill Strengths
1) The first skill strength demonstrated was the rucking. The performer demonstrated a
low body position with good posture and explosive strength driving through the legs
to win the ball over. The performer was able to win a few jackals allowing a turnover
for his team and points to be scored from penalties. This links to technology in the
21st century as he has excellent boots preventing him from slipping and taking him
off balance. (Paper 3)

2) The second skill strength was his pop passing. The player carried the ball in 2 hands
allowing him to pass in either direction instead of relying on one side through one
hand and lifted the ball high in the air so the receiving player could catch the ball at
speed without adjusting his run. Due to this there were less dropped balls keeping
possession and the supporting runner was able to break the gain line. The angle of

, release was greater than 45 degrees with a non parabolic flight path so the ball could
easily fall into the supporting players hands. (Paper 1)

3) The last skill strength was successfully steeping his opponents allowing him to break
through the gain line and gain significant yards for his team and sometimes score a
try. Cognitive factors, such as perception and decision-making, play a crucial role in
stepping. The brain's ability to quickly process visual information and make
split-second decisions is integral to successful stepping in rugby. Theoretical insights
into cognitive processes guide my understanding of how to read the game and
respond effectively." (Paper 2)

Tactics Weakness
1) The first tactical weakness is the performer's inability to read when to join the ruck. A
lot of the time the performer would join the ruck when he was not needed and kind of
hide behind them. Due to this there are overlaps for the opposition to attack on and
create try scoring opportunities. This may be due to a lack of intrinsic motivation and
belief within himself to work harder. It could also be because the performer has been
under stress and became anxious, therefore the performer could have been
experiencing competitive trait anxiety, being nervous about letting the team down and
missing therefore hiding behind the ruck. (Paper 2)

2) The second tactical weakness was the calling of guards. When around the ruck he
failed to call when in guard position meaning other players crowded around the ruck.
This caused an overlap out wide making it easier for opposition to attack. This
stemmed from a low aerobic endurance causing the performer to struggle with
communication. It may also be due to the performer being an introvert as he doesn't
like social situations, therefore letting the team down by not calling guards, leading to
an overlap. (Paper 2).

3) The third tactical weakness was cutting back inside and not knowing when to attack
and pass out wide. Often when his team had an overlap and a higher chance of
scoring, the player would cut back inside into the defence allowing the opposition to
easily tackle him. This may be due to a lack of experience and his dominant
response causing him to cut back in. It may also stem from pressure from the media
to perform well from the 21st century video technology watching his every move was
the game was being filmed, and as it would be reviewed post match so the performer
felt the pressure to score instead of making the right decision.


Tactical strengths
1) The first tactical strength was the performer's ability to run a dummy line. He was
able to read the defence and recognize where space was available. From this
He carries out a running line manipulating the defence into thinking he will get the
ball. This allows players on his team to run into space and break through the gain
line.

2) The second tactical strength was recognising to drop back after a kick from the
opposition. The player reacted quickly and was there to support the ball so it wasn't
