Be realistic, how often to football players sprint along trying to dribble through the opp

osition?

It's as rare as hen's teeth. The modern game is 99% built on controlling the ball and passing it on as quickly as possible. There's huge skill in that, but it's not the skill of running at an opponent and trying to beat him, let alone trying to beat two or three or four. Whereas that is the bread and butter of international rugby back play.
