Practical go to for tackling skills
Very clear, simple effective progression, thanks
Nice and clear.
Wow thats good technique. its good to see pros that have a good idea teaching the younger generation.
Great to see a top draw player showing consistency with RFU level 2 coaching of the tackle and contest for the ball. I like the “chopping your feet” term which is good way to keep your feet alive and close in. I also like the warning about diving into the tackle.
Really useful
Really liked the way the tackle was broken down into its constituent elements, particularly the focus on the post-tackle phase, which is easy for beginners to miss.
Great video for teaching the importance of leg drive through the tackle and also for the tackler to quickly regain their feet and immediately begin the ruck contest by trying to drive beyond the ball.
Awesome!! Very clear instructions and demonstrated technique
Excellent. Substantial length, broad coverage (tackle, post-tackle, breakdown), logical organization, clear statement of principles, very effective demonstrations. And yes, he says chop your feet, not chock them. Well done. Very helpful video.
I think he means shorten your steps so they are “choppy”. Just looks like that because he is standing still trying not to kill the little guys. It’s tough to talk your way through a demonstration… thinking and talking at the same time has never been the strength of the forwards.
Theres always more than one way to do things I guess.
“Choc your feet” seems to contradict Graham Henry’s tracking and tackling video, where he advocates “keeping your feet alive”.
