Garry Schofield was a great exponent of the chip kick, he did it with great success for Great Britain against Australia creating a number of tries.

Danny Brough is a player who has the ability to pull this off in the modern game.

It would be a shame if this difficult skill were to become any more of a rarity than it already is.

It has to be rare to be effective though. If over-used teams will start to anticipate it and nullify its effectiveness.

Was that the hodgson try, the first of the game? If so i wouldnt call it a chip kick as meant in the first post, plus it was only a fumble that turned it into a try!

No. It was out last try, as I said in my post.
