The “up and under” kicking strategy in rugby involves a high, lofted kick aimed at gaining territory or putting pressure on the opposing team’s defense. It is typically used when a team is under pressure in their own half or to create contestable situations where players from both teams compete for the ball in the air. The objective is to either regain possession of the ball or force the opposing team into making mistakes, such as knocking the ball on or conceding possession.
