In this final episode of Omertà, The Rugby Mafia unpack one of rugby’s most debated tactical tools: the kick. From spiral bombs to grubbers, cross-field chips to tactical exits, The Kicking Conundrum explores why teams choose to give up possession—and how the best kickers turn it into a weapon. With insights into playmakers, fullbacks, and coaches, we examine the balance between pressure and precision, territory and turnover. Is the boot a safety valve, a statement, or a science? All in five minutes.
