What is a "grubber kick"?
A grubber kick in rugby is a type of low, bouncing kick where the ball is kicked along the ground. This kick is typically used to gain ground quickly or to put pressure on the opposing team. It is often used in tight situations or when trying to catch the defense off guard. The ball’s unpredictable bounce makes it difficult for opponents to track and intercept, giving the kicking team an advantage. A grubber kick can be used to break through defensive lines or to set up scoring opportunities.
