It's often used in response to a side that when moving into the forward line and doing the usual thing of kicking long to a tall to no or little avail, rather 'lower your eyes' to assess better/other/shorter options. Don't waste the kick.
Why not simply say "look at the options" or "pick the best option"?
It's a bit like "shot on goal"; you don't shoot on something, you shoot at it. A terrible Croweater phrase that has crept into commentary language.
