1991 - The French rugby team develops 'the forward pass'...they would go on and successfully execute this ploy all the way up to 2007 defeating the All Blacks in the quarter finals of the 2007 rugby World cup which by the way was hosted by France.
Its a no look pass when your focus is off the receiver, how the hell can you not be looking when your pretty much staring at the player you passed to??????
people gotta remember this was like 1991, the french were the master's of hiding the ball when passing, where did you think carlos got his ideas of passing from?
Dont give a damn if it was forward or not. Nothing actually happens here except for 2 bog standard passes down the line. Its all about the body language of the second receiver. Only one Welshman falls for the ruse and hes got 3 men inside him ready to take the French 15 should he get the ball, only problem is that hes marking the scorer. Lack of concentration and awareness. Its a very clever try, but from a move that should never have worked.
pick the worst two guys on defense in the NFL and i gurantee you they wouldnt have let that guy run pass them like that, and above them, that guy just stopped running. Maybe if they were wearing pads they could tackle.
@bob24288 no because they would of been sat down taking oxygen nfl is short explosive bursts. Rugby has much more continuity with phase after phase NFL is one phase the stop
it looked foward but the guy passing was sort of runnig backwards and he popped the ball, either way it wouldve been a fair call, (i know that sounds strange) but had the ref called forward i wouldnt have condemmed him, or vice versa
how can people call it forwards when the grass has light and dark shades on it and he passes right on one of them lines and the player recieves it before he reaches that line...
im not gonna hate by saying it was forward cuz i dont think it was i just wanna say how exactly was that THE BEST RUGBY PASS EVER!! he just did a little dummy and a regular pass
If you pause the frame at :18.....you see that when he catches the ball, the 2 men are lateral with each other.....I can see why this was not called....its very very close.
Bottom line is that if you try this over and over, you will not always get away with it, and turning the ball over 10 metres out is unforgivable. Better to not be so cheeky.
