Too easy

How about a video? J W has provided videos from time to time.

looks like maybe a toe is blocked, but at that point it didn't matter

he is a lot bigger, but arguably it looks like he uses a nice peng/lu, then an an.

Those rugby gif's are quite nice examples of how it should work, somehow much better examples that the pure Martialarts demos since the attack can come from any direction the players must have a more all round awareness

That rugby clip remind me some Aikido clips, there are too much force that you can borrow from your opponent. In reality, your opponent won't let you to borrow his force that easy.

Unless he thinks he can run over you.

depends on "reality". weight classes for highly skilled, technical MAists? I'd (theoretically) prefer every point of leverage.

other situations, maybe the rugby examples show something else can still be "practical". the first two GIFs don't show quite as committed an "attack" that as easy for "borrowing". the second GIF is maybe a bad example because the pusher is larger. the first GIF doesn't show whatever attack happened before this lady just punches the other lady down (more xingyiquan than taijiquan I guess ).

Actually I too got to think about Aikido......Of course Rugby is just a game but it's a full-contact game as I understand and the hit can come from anywhere around the player

That third clip reminded a little of Aikido randori(free practice)

That clip is rugby league not rugby
Rugby league players are superbly conditioned and highly trained in bjj and wrestling
Many have gone straight from a playing career into boxing
Anthony Mundine becoming a multiple world champ,admittedly he came from a boxing family

" How to make your push into the throw?"

PUSH>>>>>
1. wait for the answer
a/ if he go follow you can use big outer sweep /o sotogari/ or chose between inner sweeps - couchi or ouchi gari
b/ if he is pushing you back , : simply go follow and block his way, by simply sweep /sasae/, or turn and lower your body /lot of "big throws" is possible.

in the rugby clip
we have example "changing direction of the incoming force", not the transfer of the "push"
anyway,
he use too much force, in such case just smooth turn /easy to type /would send players on the ground.

ps
John, he is in the air, so his power is send and he can`t change the direction or withdraw

here attack was to high
almost free lunch

ps
i just look at JW clips - it illustrated my post / couchi - ouchi in combination/

That's called the Maori side step

Defender creates angle, makes contact, deceptively yields stiff arm while lowering level, pushes attacker (at dead angle) up, backwards and down (an), sending opponent to the ground. It is called ti fang:

I like marvin's interpretation.

Sorry, I don't know the difference between rugby and rubgy league.

If you look up QB escapes (NFL), there are even better turns to "borrow force" in a smoother way; granted these "attacks" are super committed with tons of force to borrow.
