Tackling & Tracking - All with Sir Graham Henry
Every top team has a top defence. If you're not a good defensive team, you won’t win championships. Tackle technique is the key. I break this down into two components: tracking and tackling. This video takes you through the activities I use to develop individual tackle technique, the foundations of good defence and a winning team.

Graham Henry takes us through the skill of tracking an opponent well. If you can put an opponent in a position that best suits you, you are more likely to make your tackles.

Harrison Wearmouth New ZealandWhat a Legend Excellent coaching skills Thanks
Mark Manderson USAGreat information and drills. Thanks
Luca Gubinelli ItalyAn unrivaled master: simply exceptionally clear
nigel tremain AustraliaThe best explanation on tracking I have seen,very informative and easy to understand.
John Walker EnglandRFU guidelines prohibit contact in youth rugby until 2 weeks before the season commences. However the superb “Tackling and Tracking” skill drills leading up to the full contact tackle can be used in the weeks prior to full contact to help prepare young players to quickly move into “full tackle” mode when allowed to do so. I will be using these drills with my U17s in our next training session prior to full contact under RFU guidelines. Excellent presentation by the Master.

Alistar Rogers New Zealandspectacular I loved the video great advise
Sebastian Suarez ArgentinaAre those… TJ Perenara, Lima Sopoaga and Julian Savea ??
Herb Parker IrelandExcellent drill & principles, suggest mentioning; 1) driving forward from legs into contact 2) tackler transfers their body weight into & at point of contact 3) teaching that all tackles should finish with tackler regaining their feet and looking to attack & turnover the ball.

kenmurray ScotlandGreat exercise, I use the tackling square drills very frequently for under 16s and progress to 2 v 2 etc full contact. We also do each guy has to tackle each man in turn keep a score and call it the “Top Gun” trophy, not sure they all get the reference (showing my age) but they love the game and all want to be the guy with the most tackles.

Jock Tiernan AustraliaGreat basic technique, good communication, constant appraisals along with player q and a getting the players involved. Along with 3 basic drills that can be used at all age levels
Rugbyfish GermanyI learnt a lot from this video, mostly about coaching the right body position for tracking and tackling. It was disappointing that no full tackle was shown though. I sympathize for not wanting to bring in too much physicality before a game but it would have added a lot.
Ignacio Hernández SpainExcelente. La sencillez de la explicación, la claridad de los conceptos y la garantía que da verlo a Henry entrenando el tackle nos ofrecen la clave para elevar el nivel de nuestros equipos. Un 10.
rob ojala New ZealandExcellent guidance from the guru – has helped plan my coaching on this – recommend
