4 +2 | dive pass vs standing pass |

dive pass vs standing pass Explanation: by the look of it. Dive pass: This was very much in vogue in my playing days but the standing pass has overtaken it mainly because of the fact that the scrum-half remains on his feet and thus in play. Most players can pass longer distances standing than diving but I have seen some prodigiously long dive passes. I was interested to see a few scrumhalves using the dive pass in the recent World Cup games. It is useful when you are in a tight spot and have people reaching out for you. Your dive takes you away from them; it is also useful when you are chasing a ball moving away from you on the ground. It is a quick pass which you can spin or not; you would spin the ball if you wanted distance but a quicker shorter pass would not need spin.
