I think this is one of the clearest tackle technique videos I have seen.
Use this as a template to improve your tacklers.

Dan,
Is there more of an emphasis on “hitting on the rise” these days? This video reminds me of how we teach tackling in American football(but the head goes in front). I think when I was taught how to tackle in rugby, there was more of an emphasis in getting lower around the ball carriers hips/legs. Just curious. Great blog by the way.

Comment by Matt March 23, 2010 @ 2:57 amThis is a complete replica, almost word for word, of a session on Youtube that Pat Lam did with with NZ rugby posted a year or so ago. Both were remiss in not explaining how these techniques fit in with overall tackling strategy – ie, number one priority is put the guy on the deck, not put in a big hit. What happened to tackling round the legs?
