Question 1
Solution: Option A I think this clip is a very good example to show the limitations of Tactical Defending. In theory we have a good position to defend the wing, but we're lacking the right tools to hinder the opponent without the danger of fully committing to a tackle (Option A). The Advanced Defending setting doesn't affect jockey defending (Option B). Tactical Defending allows us to decisively tackle (Option C), but this is not what we always want here.
Question 2
Solution: Option B The Advanced Defending setting gives us more options to defend, but it's also a bit more difficult to use. Everybody that is willing to undergo that learning curve should use this setting (Option B).
Question 3
Solution: Option A The easiest situations to start using the physical challenge with X/A are situations when you're side to side to your opponent and going for a shoulder challenge. As explained in Lesson 2 of this course this is the best starting point to get a feel for the physical challenges.
Question 4
Solution: Option B We're side to side with the opponent, so this is a clear situation to physically challenge the opponent (see Lesson 3).

Check OptionsQuestion 5
Solution: Option A We're positioned right in front of the opponent. As explained in Lesson 3, in such situations it's best to go for the tackle as this is the clearest option to go for the ball.
Question 6
Solution: Option B The opponent is about to burst down the wing and surpass us. So we're to the side of the opponent and thus, when you want to challenge the opponent, you should do it with X/A.
Question 7
Solution: Option B We're side to side with the opponent, so this is a clear situation to physically challenge the opponent (see Lesson 3). This is a big advantage of using Advanced Defending. You don't have to be scared to accidentally tackle the opponent and you have a great tool to defuse the situation.
Question 8
Solution: Option A After the first attempt with X/A we got closer and improved our position a bit. Now it's time to go for another challenge. As explained in Lesson 3, when using X/A several times you use it, observe and then repeat.
