The Two Man Drop = Power Up?

I game upon this article from the RFU by googling "long body ruck".

The Two-Man Drop - Producing lightning-fast recycled ball .

Since the topic sparked so much discussion, I thought it would be worth posting here. At the core of the paper are these ideas:

Our MNT Head Coach, Peter Thornberg, is quoted along with Eddie O'Sullivan, the Irish MNT coach.
