Rugby game - spot the sidestep!

Fun, educational rugby game. Learn about how you beat the opposition with a sidestep. Know what to buy, which clips to look for.

Know how to spot a sidestep. Learn how they are a great advantage.



Aim of this game

New to sidesteps? - to help you spot a sidestep and understand the advatage you possess when you have one.

Love sidesteps? - to point out ones you may or may not have seen so you can re-live those exciting moments, re-kindle the spirit.

What`s all the fuss about sidesteps?
- you must have arrived here by accident - but stick around anyway....you just might learn something.

Another aim is for you to say to yourself...

"I want to sidestep like this!"

If you do that now...

...
just imagine some time from now...

... when you remember this and say...

"I sidestep like that!"



Where are the sidesteps?

I know where to find loads and loads of good rugby game video footage with sidesteps.

Including the footage... would infringe copyright.

So... how to play the game,
   
               get the rugby video
"101 Best Tries" with Cliff Morgan.

Just get it anyway!... it`s a real slice of rugby history.

Another option is to look for the clips on rugby sites or video sites.



How to play this rugby game

How you play depends on how much you want to learn.
  • simply watch it and enjoy what you see, use the game notes as a guide to where the sidesteps are and how to spot them
  • make notes about interesting situations where one player beats another unexpectedly, compare yours with the game details
  • analyse what situation the winning player took advantage of and identify how they did it, compare later with game notes
At some stage compare your thoughts and notes with the notes below on individual sidestep situations.

Watch in slow motion. Compare your notes with those below.

See what`s happening? Is it a sidestep?

Find each sidestep mentioned below and watch them - frequently.

Imagine you sidestep like they do.
