Thank you! As a fullback I needed a bit of help on how to read a person before a tackle. It gets tough when I’m the only one running head on with my opponent lol
Cheers mate, I've got a match today and I'm playing up a year, so I'm feeling a little apprehensive as a lock about tackling much bigger, stronger players. This video has been really helpful, thanks a lot
Ask your trainer to teach you to tackle very low. There is no impact if you tackle below the knee level as soon as you put your head in the good side (tackle with shoulder closest to the ball carrier.) with this low tackles, no matter te size of your opponent, if he is running he will fall
I’ve been interested in rugby lately and this helped a lot! I used to back down and slow down with bigger people that seemed to be better than me but with this video i just got 100% more confident cheers!
Firstly.. I’ve watched a few of your insta reels.. so good! These have lead me here! This is just what my daughter needed to help improve her tackle confidence and technique. Subscribed button had been hit! These will definitely help her improve her game. Thank you for sharing these tips and advice 😎👌🏻
Awesome! Thank you! really appreciate it. have you check out my Skills Academy? I can definitely help your daughters skills with the plans that are included and my live skills sessions
one tip from a small guy: if u have problems getting people to fall and u feel they just drag you along. Grab the ankle and spin your entire body with it. You see it in top leagues all the time. Once the ankle is at a disadvantageous angle, which happens really fast (just imagine it in your head) people have to lay down. Otherwise the ankle will hurt or even break quite quickly.
@@TheRugbyTrainerTV I am a new guy playing rugby for my school; did it help me? Yes, it did. Every time I was playing in a game, I always tackled their knee, so I learned that I had to tackle their knee up, not down, because I wouldn't get injured.
Thanks sir Teaching a good techniques thankyou so much I watched all video are you posted in Instagram or RUclips osm video amazing cantents and most useful techniques
This is great. If you say you struggle with tackle confidence most interpret that as fear of the collision. But my issue is not the collision, it’s reading and responding to the movements of a player in space, some great tips here.
Yeah good. Choppy feet (rather than big strides) keeps you going forward but able to respond to movement, and watching the hips is good too. I’d add an element of ‘acceptance’- it’s much better to make a good tackle on one player than trying to cover both the carrier and the man on the overlap too. It’s percentages. If I’m indecisive then they definitely score, but if I definitely tackle the carrier they probably still score but it forces them to make one more pass-catch and therefore an opportunity to drop the ball.
I needed this cause I've been off my game fever since the pandemic started and I just started highschool and the people here are huge especially at Afies and I just wanna get back on the team and I have the skill but need the confidence so thank you
@TheRugbyTrainerTV I wish I could say it did but I realized you need the will to tackle and that can't be taught so I have to teach myself we won our first 2 games though today it was a tight bind but we pulled through but I appreciate what you're trying to do
Top lessons time after timebud! My lad 9yo has developed a great tackle with your help, thank you. One problem, in a match he is reverting back to poor form and unsuccessful tackling. On pads and myself, he's a beast! Any ideas? Any sessions in Essex planned? Ryan
Hi Ryan thanks for the message and kind words. Yes what you can do is get your son to practise tackling someone his own age. Pick a new player to tackle every week. All shapes and sizes. Drop the pads and do it player on player. Start off low level then build up as the weeks go on
We are trying to get team mates for a bit of training after school, as the club seem a bit too cautious to let them practice tackling, unfortunately. Coaches say there are time limits to full contact and also moaning that I'm getting them together to practice.. I see the opposition that they face sometimes are well trained with tackling and rucking. We need to step it up. Keep up the great work, really appreciate it!! Ryan
Thank you, excellent video. The first step to have a good (and safer) tackle is the trajectory we take to get to the ball carrier. It sould allow us to don't let the choice of the direction to the ball carrier then we can have speed in the zone of contact. If we let the choice to the ball carrier ,he will slow us down and have an advantage. And the way I use to build confidence is to teach my players first to do very low chop tackle (really safe and effective tackles) and after teach them the offensive tacles you show. The difference between this both technics are little. Every training 20 min of tackling.
@@TheRugbyTrainerTV Thank you for the quality technicals video you publish. First I put the defender in safe and easy conditions to learn and repeat the technique (like we do in combat sport): a ball carier start 2m in front of the defender and will run toward one of the two plots placed on both side of the defender with no change of direction nor speed. First little instructions for the defender: small steps, lower the stands and hit with the shoulder closest to the ball carier. (To protect his head getting hit by a knee). That's the decision I want him to train, which shoulder to use. After few reps I add closing the arms around the legs of the ball carrier. Then I add all the instructions one by one: small steps, focus to hit with the shoulder closest to the ball carier, hip and shoulder oriented toward the ball carrier, squat with the back straight and extend (almost parralelle to the floor) to hit between the ancke and the knee of the ball carrier, with the same arm he hit the shoulder: reaching and catching the other leg or closing both arms around both leg (different techniques), quickly standing up, and at the end getting in position to take the ball of the down opponent. I use that in all training for all players as an extented warm up of the upper body. Then I add progressive difficulty doing it in a square with speed and feints. Here one more very important goal: the trajectory toward the ball carier in order to don't let him the choice of where to go.
I am enjoying video's, they are very helpful for me as a player and a coach. Can i please get the correct link for the 5-week plan. The link in the description isn't working.
@@TheRugbyTrainerTV hello, I was 15 when I wrote this comment. Now I am 16, and it really worked for me. When I wrote the comment I was playing as a flanker, now I am a center, and my tackling abilities have improved trough the time, and I can say that your video really helped me in that time. Thank you man.
I knew this was legit advice when you mentioned where the eyes need to be, and thats on the hips. As shakira said, the hips dont lie. They can do all the lying in the world with their head, hands, and feet, but the hips always tell the truth. Never missed a tackle when Ive done that.
Thank you, yes! lock those eyes on the Prize! "aim small, miss small" locking eyes helps you keep your head up throughout the tackle! how are you finding my channel? learning much ?
Any tips on how to improve not beinf scared to tackle? to get over the fear? Not that im scared to tackle , its whats happening when u connect and the consequences after the hit. Its either u win it or you lose it. Any way to get that confidence up knowing you can win every 1 on 1 tackles?
Hi. Thanks for the video. Your 5 Week Skills plan no longer seems to be available. Just wanted to let you know the link in your description doesn't work.
As a former American football player, Im struggling on what side i should be placing my head when tackling. I noticed you placing your head on the opposite side of the leg that you are splitting the defender with, im assuming thats also to help protect the head?
Hi I just started rugby haven’t watched the video yet but I’ve played 2 games and I’ve got two try’s and I’m a prop and hooker and I get a tiny bit scared sometimes but I just get stuck in
@@TheRugbyTrainerTV the tackle technique of looking at the belly button and squeezing the legs when driving. I rely on my weight and muscles to bring people down and it works with that momentum but this will clean it up a bit. Cheers
@TheRugbyTrainerTV I speak for myself. As a short and tiny player, I have the fear of tackling someone bigger than me. I've been working on it and so far it's getting better bit by bit. But that fear still lingers.
This will be a bit awkward for me to post and for you to read ... BUT your technique is very wrong for a number of reasons which I'll try to explain below. But first let me give you my coaching career record over 14 years covering 262 games with teams varying from juniors up to senior and everything in between. My win rate is 84%, but more importantly my FOR and AGAINST averaged over all 262 games is >27pts FOR and < 7 points AGAINST. If you absorb those figures you will see that defense played an huge part in my coaching success. If you're still with me, I would like to list my priorities in coaching the tackle and defense .. 1) YOU (the tackler) MUST BE PROACTIVE , that is the tackler MUST dictate where and when the tackle is executed, ie force the ball runner to react to you and not the other way round, if you need more clarification on this or any of the other comments I'll be happy to share with you. I'm now 78 and way beyond coaching. 2) You are correct in emphasizing that the tackler must move forward into the tackle but you neglected to say to put yourself about one meter on the INSIDE of the ball runner. this ensures that the ball runner only has two running options by cutting out his inside step and ensuring that the ball is moved away from his inside support. 3) In my opinion you MUST emphasise that the tackler keeps his head behind the ball runner at contact early in the lesson. You do mention it later in your demonstration but if you do it early you put safety first. 4) you put a lot of emphasis on "hitting" or making the "hit" .! Again I believe that you use way too much energy in trying to achieve this and you are putting the tackler (and the tacklee) IN DANGER OF INJURY. sO WHAT i SETTLED ON WAS TO GET UP CLOSE ON THE INSIDE (INVITE THE BALL RUNNER TO GO YOUR CHOSEN PATH) make the tackle (ENVELOPE) THE RUNNER AND WITH A SLIGHT TWISTING fall let him crash to the ground with you on top so as to be first on your feet to play the ball. Believe me, this is a very safe (and often spectacular) way to execute the tackle. I'll leave it at that for now, I'm trying desperately NOT to criticize but to help you in the future. God knows rugby union needs more and better coaches. I dispare at the modern game which I call LEAGUEBY ie rugby league with scrums and lineouts and pretty shit ones at that. please don't take offence ... I really mean well. Conor McHenry, Brisbane.
But I have benefitted from this video, I just joined my school team as a front rower, I'm more than big enough, but I was quite hesitant. I've had multiple games and I've become a lot better since when i started. So thanks.
Hi i play for u12 which is 12 a side . I want to play nlind side flanker 7 as my uncle played there and got to north of england trials. My tackling and rooking is great but i can still improve do you have any workouts that help for single person activities . I do have a treadmill and up to 10kg per dumbell
Thank you! As a fullback I needed a bit of help on how to read a person before a tackle. It gets tough when I’m the only one running head on with my opponent lol
use that foot work
Would you say the wingers guild is also good for full backs
Read as you approaching the attacker ..which hand is he holding the ball ..if it's right..then his strong step is his right leg.
watch the hips, try to guide him one side or the other so you control the tackle.
If you can, don't read but be proactive in you trajectory to limite the options of the ball carrier. It will make you tackling easier
Cheers mate, I've got a match today and I'm playing up a year, so I'm feeling a little apprehensive as a lock about tackling much bigger, stronger players. This video has been really helpful, thanks a lot

But I have benefitted from this video, I just joined my school team as a front rower, I'm more than big enough, but I was quite hesitant. I've had multiple games and I've become a lot better since when i started. So thanks.
boom
After watching the video please come back and tell us how bad was the bounce 😂
what bounce?
Hi i play for u12 which is 12 a side . I want to play nlind side flanker 7 as my uncle played there and got to north of england trials. My tackling and rooking is great but i can still improve do you have any workouts that help for single person activities . I do have a treadmill and up to 10kg per dumbell
Best of luck! love it!
I wish I could join you and train with you physically
I have an online academy which I work with players every week? have you seen that ?
Maybe i am a psychopath but i like to tackle a person more than using pads. I dont really like the feeling of tackling the pads.
thats good! but sometime the player getting tackle might want some protection 😂
I'm guessing you're a foward😂😂
I have been needing this for so long
Oh brilliant, did this video help?
Yeah it did
@@henryhudson7750 class. What did you learn ?
I am on the road to recovery from a dislocated shoulder so the video is what I need to get that confidence back up after the shoulder
Tackle low, the lower the less impact on a running ball carrier. Just keep your head safe by tackling with the shoulder closest to the ball carrier
