The Rugby Club Plays of the Week - Round 9 - Bust a move
'It's the Caterpillar!' No it's not, as Greg Martin will have been told many times over the last week. In this edition of The Rugby Club, Martin admits he made a mistake when calling it, and we we get to see the ever popular, Plays of the Week.
If you have no idea what that's referring to, it is of course the moment that few will ever forget, when Digby Ioane scored a runaway try against the Bulls, and celebrated with some breakdancing . Commentator Greg Martin confidently called the move a Caterpillar .
Obviously the experts out there picked him up on his mistake right away, and he's since been corrected, repeatedly, being told it's actually called the turtle. So in this week's Plays of the Week, the focus is on busting a move, naturally.
Drew Mitchell was in studio for this week's show, and as you can see if you look carefully, was up to his tricks with Ben Robinson and his chair, which mysteriously kept popping down while he was being chatted to. That explains the giggling, if you can't work it out.
There's also the usual dose of big hits , great tries, crazy fans, and of course, some dancing girls.

Cipriani makes quade cooper look like jerry collins in defense.
Can come up with some brilliant attack but is a absolute fairy when he has to tackle someone.

Just noticed what got lost in digby's try was the fabulous kick by the lock forward. Pick, change direction n hoof before falling out of bounds, nice touch too

Digby Ioane, the man who think he was born in south central LA. Has anyone seen that terrible 'music" video he's in? Totally comical.

well remember when Cipriani was at Wasps, when they were defending a set piece they'd stick a flanker in the 10 position to give more security. Obviously it was meant to be a short-term solution while he grew a bit bigger and stronger and improved his tackling technique. But it seems to have backfired because he just never seems to have honed a proper defensive instinct.
Mind you, that clip shows almost half the rest of the Rebels side being either unable or not arsed to tackle too!

its not strictly speaking a leinster move, but theyve been the ones to make it popular and show that it worked. thing is, they use it all the time and now other teams are starting to use it and its annoying to see the same moved being used all the time by everyone

deo, i didn't say they had a patent. if i said "digby ione's (sp?) caterpillar", that doesn't mean he invented it or has any sort of rights to it. and it's not a simple wrap around. i think you should watch more rugby and you might be able to see its a bit more complicated than that. come at me bro

So you associate it with Leinster because it's the only one they know how to do. You talk about it as if it's the only back move around. Most good teams at international level (the ones I see regularly anyway) have a lot of these moves and they don't just keep doing the same one.

nohomo, that move has been used in rugby for many, many, many years.
Leinster are not the first to use it, defibnatly not the first to show it worked. Are you seriously suggesting Leinster developed that move?
Do you watch much rugby? Much SH rugby.
It's a very old play type, it's been around for like 20 years. Jesus.
