‘Garryowen’ keeps rugby teams alive and kicking

THERE are two popular kicks used in rugby: one is the “box kick”, which appears to be used most often to give the ball to the opposing side either directly or via the side line throw-in. The other is the “Garryowen” which is accurately fashioned, as by the English, to enable the kicker’s side to have a 50/50 chance of winning it. Ted O’Keeffe
