Hi Coach,
In rugby, the term "weak shoulder" refers to a player's vulnerable side or the side of their body that is more exposed to a tackle or contact from an opponent.
The weak shoulder usually come about from the defender twisting their shoulders and not staying square on to the attacking player. Often caused by the use of footwork.
Hope this helps.
