Learning how to play rugby, you're told of the importance to hold both hands up to catch the ball, carrying it in both hands, and wrapping both arms around in the tackle.
I'm guessing that doesn't really apply to Matt Reilly. Nicknamed the one-armed bandit - the Maryland Sevens star has been playing rugby for the last ten years.
Recently featured on NBC Sports, Reilly makes quite an impact in the game - making one brilliant turnover, and another big hit that leads to a try for Maryland over Ohio State.

Speaking on reddit, Reilly posted the video with the caption "Once I was fooled by a dummy pass. Now I just hit him anyway."
He talks about how hard playing can be in a brilliantly upbeat and entertaining manner:
I've been playing for ~10 years, so while my pass from left to right is weaker than the right to left, I've put in my 10,000 hours and it gets better all the time. I'm also left foot dominant, so dropping the ball with the right hand is tricky to get a consistent spiral. Sometimes it's a bit harder to get the ball away from the body to make the offload when wrapped up but if that's the case I just lock it in and recycle it in the ruck.
It's not hard to imagine that a pass from left to right would be difficult given that he has no left hand for power at all.
