Extending arms to present the ball completes a clean ruck presentation

The final action in the sequence is what separates a good carry from a complete one. After hiding the ball on the ground, the All Blacks carrier extends both arms away from his body, pushing the ball toward the outside — away from the Irish defenders — leaving it entirely free and uncontested on the ground. This clean presentation means his arriving teammates do not need to slow down to win possession; they can simply ruck over and the halfback can move the ball immediately. The full chain — Triple Threat, low body, thigh drive, support foot, hide, present — is what guarantees continuity and attacking tempo.
