Building a Rush Defence - HS and A with Ben Herring

Ben has given me an example of what I can do better, and how to do it. Thanks once again.

Great series, implementing in tonight’s practice.

This is helpful to upgrade the coaching skills of our rugby coaches. Thank you very much.

This is great but could encourage tackling high and not making any effort to bend at the hips. Head on head is a major issue at the moment… Could the bags be kept lower to encourage a lower tackle height?

Nice Ben, simple and easy to understand. Great presentation.

Well done Ben ! Hope you are well. François

“Instant feedback” for proper tackling contact is difficult to coach as players are usually tackling teammates and will naturally hold back, if even a tiny bit, leading to gameday mistakes. These activities are great for providing that feedback.

Like the way they throw the bags to make it more realistic

Absolutly great

Hi Ben very clear and concise especially for players to understand what to communicate about individual role on DF set up and running line to be effective as a group

Hi Ben in session 3 tackler was leading with inside leg, attacker seemed to beat him more easily to the outside should tackler lead with outside leg to emphasize the rush alignment

Thanks Ben much appreciated. Awesome coaching process and comms.

Great session, maximum learning for players with clear concise comms.

Ben is a great example of clear and positive communication. Cool session – Post more like this, please

Excellent video. Clear explanations, good link to practical use in a game

Excellent drill to focus on footwork and momentum through tackle

I see Ben has been struggling to see a barber since his last videos 😂 looking forward to seeing this series.
