Sports / Fitness / Recreation / Rugby | | French term or phrase: crochet (intérieur) | "l’orfèvre du *crochet intérieur*"
"Il a aussi des jambes de feu, un *crochet* fulgurant et ne rechigne jamais à défendre"
Piece about a French rugby player who plays in either fly-half or scrum half. I'm guessing '(inside) hook', but it would be nice to hear from someone who knows their rugby! |

Explanation:

Crocheter :
CHANGEMENT BRUTAL d’orientation de course du porteur de balle sur une très courte distance, ayant pour but d’orienter l’action défensive de l’adversaire à l’opposé de la trajectoire offensive. Les crochets se réalisent vers l’intérieur (" crochet intérieur ") ou vers l’extérieur (" crochet extérieur ") en fonction du placement des joueurs sur le terrain.
ex : crochet intérieur crochet extérieur
http://membres.lycos.fr/epsrugby/lexi.htm
IOW, "interior" or "exterior" is meaningless, unless the guy can swerve only left (or right), in which case his crochet intérieur will only be d'enfer when his team is playing in the right (or left) direction.
My guess is it's the SWERVE:
Swerve

But might be the sidestep:

I was about to post this, then saw that Andrew (who doesn't live in Mandres, does he?) had proposed "sidestep", so I took things a bit further :
However:
Here are a two prints from WWWakefield's book "Rugger" published in 1930 (at least, mine..) explaining the SIDE STEP ("CADRAGE DÉBORDEMENT" for my French ...
rugby-pioneers.blogs.com/rugby/2007/.../lets_talk_techn.html
feinte de corps : s’engager brusquement dans une direction pour en changer rapidement (CROCHET, CADRAGE-DÉBORDEMENT).
http://membres.lycos.fr/epsrugby/lexi.htm
So a cadrage-débordement and a crochet are two different things, and if the "rugby pioneers" site is correct, "sidestep" is cadrage-débordement.
The SWERVE is a great way of beating a defender who is close to making a tackle. It is NOT AS EXTREME AS THE SIDESTEP, but it is just as effective. ...

However, the def. above says that a crochet is a changement brutal d’orientation de course. How brutal is brutal though?
