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?

Richard Birkett England

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

Kas Kafoa Australia

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.

John G Canada

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

Steve Botha South Africa

Absolutly great

Bonni May Netherlands

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

SETAREKI T NAIVALUWAQA Japan

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
