If you're a casual rugby fan, you may hear terminology that you may not be too familiar with as the World Cup takes a grip over our senses.
So we'll be explaining a few buzzwords and first up is "accuracy", a word which is often crops up as a popular way for coaches and players to explain a good or bad performance (usually the latter).
It seems to be used in a host of different situations but what does it actually mean in a practical sense?
Off The Ball put that question to former Leinster and Ireland second row Trevor Hogan last year and this was his response.
"Accuracy has come in, it’s two or three seasons it’s been floating around, probably since Joe Schmidt really hammered it home. It applies to all those things (passing, synchronization of runs, breakdown etc).
"It’s convenient to throw out there. When you look at accuracy, there’s three or four details and if they’re not there then you don’t have the accuracy or whatever word you want to use."
So, it's not just being accurate when it comes to kicking or passing the ball to a team-mate, but getting timing and execution of elements such as tackling and work at the breakdown down to a tee - which makes it more all-encompassing.
