Can you do a dummy-solo in rugby?

[johnnyboy]

or a dummy hop even like the GAA boys?
I'd imagine not or surely Rog or some of our ex-GAA boys would have tried it?

I've tried it before, didn't quite come off. It's legal I think.

you can do the both but a dummy hop is dangerous seeing as it has to go backwards and bounce just perfect aswell.

hmmm , I can see the risk with the dummy hop but I'm surprised nobody ever tries the dummy-solo. Can somebody get on the blower to ROG and tell him to give it a try the next time he plays in Croker.

Two things. First you'd what to be thick to try a dummy-solo during a game of rugby. Secondly ROG couldn't do it even if he wanted to.

Sort of. Dummy drop goals and dummy kicks are not uncommon. I guess dummy chip kicks would be the equivalent, they're not used that much.

A dummy hop would be a silly idea.

ROG is quite good at dummy kicks. It's his blindingly obvious dummy pass that leads to him getting smacked about by flankers.

I've never seen ROG do a dummy solo. I'm taking it to be where he'd drop the ball to hoof it up the line but instead would flick it back up into his hands.

That's not a dummy solo, that's a solo.


I've seen him pretend like he's going to go for the drop kick and then make a break for it, sidestepping the defender.

he reguarly does it in defensive situations in the 22.
