This week we look at the basic technique of
an international full-back, Percy
Montgomery,
trying to catch a high ball.  

"  Unbelievable. This can only happens when a player does not want to catch the ball and
how can a player ever be paid or expect  payment for this.  "   -
Jan Oberholzer

catching the high ball no rugby player can be a
complete  player.
