You can learn a lot in relation to tackling technique from rugby. The defenders usually start from a standing start or with only a little momentum. Watch the hips, not the ball and tackle around the legs (thighs); they lose their stability more as compared to a tackle around the waist, where the opposition can create a wider base by spreading their legs.
Rugby tackles are shit and do not work in footy. There's nothing wrong with a good hard tackle taken from Aussie Rules – drop the knees at the right time and bring them down, it's not hard.
Thanks for that I'll look at him that way from now on;it's a lot healthier.
Or as we used to call it in my day...Friday night at the Drive-In.
Rugby tackles are not shit, unless your talking about league. The stronger tackle and drive comes from your hips not your arms, it is easier to break arm tackles. It is also much easier to not miss when you target the hips, the opposition player is going to go where their hips go.
You don't need momentum, you drive with your hips, can do it standing still. Check out how the Bont, lets them arm tackle around the waist, stands there, swivels, arms free and handballs away. Drive him and he's not going to get an accurate handball off.
It's not good. It encourages dangerous tackles and is far too stiff and uptight an-...
Pretty sure yeah. And they're like bff's
