But he'll also have a tale to tell about funds raised and miles rucked.

The surfaces are rucked and blistered, victims of punishment — by war, by the elements, by the artist.

In loose play, I tackled, rucked and mauled — these are technical terms, though every bit as gloriously ugly as they sound.

The landscapes depicted here are deep, dark blue, craggy hills of ice rucked and seamed and then pocked with the night sky.

And even within New Zealand, despite historical and contemporary inequality—the Maori tend to do worse in school, suffer poorer health and die younger than Pakeha (white New Zealanders) do—the two groups have always rucked together.

In any other year this would be exciting, but we can't help feeling that last autumn's World Cup has pumped our veins so thick with rugby that our red blood cells have rucked themselves to death, while our white ones have simply given up trying to figure out what a hooker actually does.

Some of Wedding's best performances came at interstate level, where he out-rucked footballers to the calibre of John Nicholls and Polly Farmer. He was selected in the All-Australian team after the 1961 Brisbane Carnival and also represented South Australia at the 1966 Hobart Carnival. In all he appeared in 19 matches for his state.

The topsail was on hoops, so the halyard was let go and the sail rucked (dropped) to the hounds. The mainsail was pulled tightly to the mast by brails. The vangs were slackened, the sheet released and the sail brailed up by the mate using the brailing winch. The mate let go the foresail halyards and it dropped to the deck.

France played aggressively and tried to intimidate the All Blacks. All Black Buck Shelford had his scrotum rucked in the twentieth minute that required stitches while he was still on the field. He was later knocked out, losing several teeth in the process, and did not finish the match.Quinn (2005); Soneji (2002) The aggressive display by France paid off and they won 16–3.

Forward passing (throwing the ball ahead to another player) is not allowed; the ball can be passed laterally or backwards. The ball tends to be moved forward in three ways — by kicking, by a player running with it or within a scrum or maul. Only the player with the ball may be tackled or rucked. A "knock-on" is committed when a player knocks the ball forward, and play is restarted with a scrum.

He played his first senior VFL game for Melbourne, aged 18, in the first ruck against Jack Dyer and Percy Bentley of Richmond at their peak,Teams Chosen for Tomorrow: League, The Argus, (Friday, 21 April 1939), p.17. at the MCG, on Saturday 22 April 1939 (round one).Melbourne Has Two Recruits: Giles and Ball In, The Argus, (Friday, 21 April 1939), p.17. Ball marked and rucked well in a side that lost by 37 points to Richmond, 11.18 (84) to 17.19 (121).

The upper part of hood proper was, if possible, fuller than the cloak, being gathered and rucked behind the neck. The inside of the hood was satin lined and the top of the hood was finished with a satin bow. Within the hood sat the flat jet collar ornamented with a pattern of beaded braid and tied with a satin bow over the single functional fastening of the cloak. Two of the best known Kinsale Cloak makers were Ellen Kirby (née Richardson) and her daughter Mary.

Derickx made his Swans debut in Round 2, 2014 against Collingwood. Derickx's biggest battle came in Round 8, 2014 when the Swans played Hawthorn where he rucked the whole game against Ben McEvoy and David Hale and was successful as the Swans got up by 19 points. After a successful first half of the year Derickx was dropped in favour of Mike Pyke for the remainder of the year. In 2015, he only played one game for Sydney, spending most of the season playing in the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL).

"He tackled hard, corner- flagged in the required manner, and was prominent in the forward charges", Jenkinson wrote. "He rucked as if he had learnt the game in King Country (a rugged part of NZ's North Island, from where the hard men reputedly came), not south-west England." It was a huge loss for Victoria and the Harlequin Club when Shepherd moved to Sydney and the Gordon RFC in 1966 to continue his international career. It was only natural, somehow, that he would then captain Gordon until his retirement from rugby.

In several locations the quartzites below the glacial horizon have been rucked into a series of folds. This is believed to have been caused by the movement of ice ploughing into the underlying unconsolidated sands. A good example of this can be seen on a ridge of rocks near Maclear's Beacon on Table Mountain, close to the edge of the plateau overlooking the Cape Town City Bowl and Table Bay. The Pakhuis Formation is also well exposed on the road along Michell's Pass just below the Tolhuis, and especially on the Pakhuis Pass near Clanwilliam, from which the formation derives its name.

They can easily be recognized at a distance as this formation readily erodes into fertile, gently sloping, green swaths in a landscape where this contrasts starkly with the bare rocky surfaces of the quartzites above and below. In several locations the quartzites immediately below the glacial horizon have been rucked into a series of folds. This is believed to have been caused by the movement of ice ploughing into the underlying unconsolidated sands. A good example of this can be seen on a ridge of rocks near Maclear's Beacon on Table Mountain, close to the edge of the plateau overlooking the Cape Town City Bowl and Table Bay.

So it is advantageous to score a try nearer to the posts as it is easier to convert it. The kick can be either a drop kick or a place kick in the 15-man game. However, in sevens, all conversions must be drop kicks. Counter rucking If a team (usually the team that took the ball into contact) has secured the ball at a ruck, and the other team manage to force them off the ball and secure possession themselves, the defending team are said to have "counter-rucked" Crash ball It is an attacking tactic where a player receives a pass at pace and runs directly at the opposition's defensive line.

From Geelong, Victoria, Fort originally played for South Barwon as a junior and represented the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup. Ahead of the 2012 AFL draft he was little-noticed by recruiters until a match with South Barwon in the Geelong Football League, when he rucked competitively against Brad Ottens, a triple-premiership player for Geelong, despite his size and experience deficit. Over his 10 TAC Cup matches for the season, Fort averaged 10 disposals, 3.5 marks, 26 hitouts and 3.4 tackles; the Herald Sun reported that he was regarded as among the best ruckmen in the competition, highlighted Fort's tackling, tenacity and follow- up effort as strengths, and predicted he would be drafted in the late second or early third round (pick 40-50). Fort was nevertheless overlooked at the 2012 draft (a snub the Geelong Advertiser called "inexplicable") and entered a stint in the Victorian Football League (VFL) with Werribee.

His second season saw gradual improvement, marked by the attention he received for the tactic employed by coach Mick Malthouse midseason, which saw both McKee and fellow ruckman Josh Fraser begin at the centre bounce, with the decision on who rucked made at the last minute, leaving opposing ruckmen flummoxed. McKee's career flourished in season 2002, where his ability to drift a kick behind the play and aid his defenders was crucial in the team's success, as was his ability to act like a fourth midfielder at the stoppages, his efforts twice negating the influence of Port Adelaide powerhouse Matthew Primus, most crucially in the Qualifying Final defeat of the Power. McKee's efforts in the Grand Final were brave, as although swamped by Clark Keating, McKee still managed to lay an impressive nine tackles, breaking the rucking stereotype. Season 2003 saw McKee all but umpired out of the game by a new rule interpretation which worked against his style of ruckwork, which was to stand toe-to-toe with his opponent, instead of leaping.

Recruited from the local junior team the Moonee Imperials, Mitchell was so impressive with the Essendon thirds (under-19s) in his first season that he was promoted to the firsts; and, apart from times when injured (he was prone to leg injuries), he played as a firsts regular. He played 77 consecutive games for the firsts from 1954 to 1958. He was a fast and clever footballer, a beautiful drop kick and very elusive; he had an astounding ability to anticipate opponents and often popped up unexpectedly just where he was needed. In his early career he played on the forward line – he played at full-forward in the side that lost 7.11 (53) to Geelong's 9.7 (61) in the 1955 first semi-final – and, as his career progressed he developed into Essendon's first specialist ruck-rover who, for many years rucked in tandem with Geoff Leek, alternating with Mal Pascoe. He played his first senior match for Essendon on Saturday 15 August 1953, in round 16 of the 1953 home-and-away season, when Essendon beat Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to 12.10 (82) to 8.9 (57), with Mitchell scoring the first of his 301 career goals for Essendon.
