How to know when to kick

Kicking gets a bad name. It’s the safe option from defence, but the risky option in attack. Less enlightened coaches would say: keep it that way.

If your players know when to kick, they can reduce the risks and increase the returns.

For example, are they asking these questions on the field

• What is the shape of the defence?
• Where are their wingers standing?
• Can their wingers even catch?
• Do they have a good counter-attacking team?
• Who’s best to kick from the right side of the field?
