[edit] Merge

I've always heard it called an Up and under and there's an article there as well. This may be a UK/Australia/NZ difference. Anyway, one way or another the articles should be merged.--Moonlight Mile 08:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

There is a slight difference, I guess. In league, a midfield bomb is pretty rare, it's mainly a scoring play. Whilst in union, it may be those sort of kicks might be used more as a general kicking tactic (?). Bomb is Aus. RL usage, it seems someone familiar with that terminology got here first.

I merged the text in the article up and under into the article bomb kick as the article "bomb kick" was a day or two older than the "up and under" article and it was more developed. I then moved the merged article from "bomb kick" to "up and under" as that name is used by both codes of rugby and will therefor not look out of place in the categories of both codes. So the old edit history of the "up and under" article has been deleted and the current history is from the article "bomb kick". --Philip Baird Shearer 13:16, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
