It`s exciting! You know - the brilliant rugby sidestep

I know the sidestep! - I am here to look around and see that try again!

What is a rugby sidestep?

This rugby video includes several different rugby sidesteps

- A great way of beating opponents
- Fun learning
- Exhilarating in action
- Excellent for gaining confidence

- Devastating and demoralising for the opposition
- Encouraging and inspiring for the team
- Entertaining and exciting for the crowd

It is how many famous rugby players become famous!

“He/she sidestepped the question/issue/problem/etc”
Unexpected, done in a flash, he/she cleverly avoided something.
We understand. No need for further explanation.

It is the same in rugby.....(this must be where the saying came from!)
...............when you sidestep
You cleverly avoid something - the opposition! And it is done in a flash!

We say “the rugby sidestep”; but there are a number of variations.

That try

Phil Bennett features in many rugby videos. Watch Phil, a true rugby great, as he uses a couple of variations of the sidestep.

This is one of the best rugby clips around, showing one of the great rugby tries. Many judge it to be the Greatest Try Ever in the history of rugby.

As a player there is nothing more exhilarating. Imagine you are Phil Bennett (just like the rest of us!)

As a spectator there is nothing more exciting. Listen to the crowd and Cliff Morgan the commentator (“Brilliant. Oh, that's brilliant!”).Cliff is a Rugby Legend. He knows what he is talking about!

Go to the Phil Bennett classic sidestep in Barbarians v All Blacks 1973
