    One handed will always be faster - it's bio mechanics & physics. The outside arc is longer and can then therefore generate more power which translates to speed. Trying to keep the inside hand on the ball, as with conventional passing technique, limits the arc, therefore the power, therefore the speed.....

      @@normanmcdermid1951 As an Aussie I support the Wallabies and anyone playing the All Blacks however to cheat there must be a rule in place which is broken, they played within the bounds of the rules. Your accusation is unwarranted. Did they play within the spirit of the game, maybe not, depends on how seriously you take this comp. IMHO they played to win and won, job done.
