Also nice to hear about Rhod's "lifting slap check" - not sure of the actual name but if wrecks and is very very affective, underused in by long sticks
I was once part of the winning Pop Lacrosse team that defeated Wigan in the 1992 Greater Manchester Youth Games.

Well yea but its fairly safe to assume Rhodri is good enough to pull it off in international games.
I wouldn't really recommend it to beginner defenders as they do have a tendency to overuse it and get burned. At least untill they can pull off those kind of checks and not lose body position

There is always more time than you think or another chance to make a play as attacker gets ready to shoot.
