The Hongkong team has any wouat of individual talent but it lacks combina tion. There is too much" playing to the gallery." Threes should remember that the wings are the people to score and it is up to the halves and centres to make the necessary openings.

It is perhaps best to deal with the serum first. What is asked of the scrum! (a) Get a good push an, don't think too much about hooking, then should the opposing side hook the ball it is still possible to push them off it and get it

yourselves.

(b) Mark your man in the line out. In recent matches it has been very notice table that the serum are not marking their

men in the line out.

(c) Keep the ball in your own 23 other- wise have it back as soon as your rush, is stopped.

pass before he reaches your

This boils down to the same thing as taking the man with the ball.
