If you're tackling a tricky back the best thing to do is tackle at waist or femur height because of the difficulty in catching a leg and also the ease at which you can stop him.
On the other hand if you are faced with Jonah Lomu the only way on earth you are going to get him down is, as people have said, is by tackling very low - shins or ankles.
you fucktard, following the hips means that if they are strong enough, you get dragged along to where they score the try. tackling thier ainkles means that you take their contact with the ground away, thus stoping them from moving forward
you guys are definatly retarded americans who cant play rugby because no normal rugby player goes for the shons/ankles...and u dont try to drag them down by the hips...you takle em backwards and you aim for the hips because ankiles and feet can deek you out but hips dont lie so stfu
im a retared american am i? dude, you cant spell shins, tackle, ankles. and "deek you out but hips dont lie", means what. plus, im not actually american and have played rugby since i was 8 years old. tackle some of the samoan players around the waist, and watch yourself travel quicker towards your end of the pitch than you ever have before. tackle them round the ankles and they go down.
grabbing a shirt is far from a tackle, at least push him into touch!!! Shocking!

It depends on who you're tackling.

Good try, but tackling was pre-school. Watch all the tacklers going high, nobody went for the ankle.

lol who the hell tackles the ankles...you gotta follow the hips

who tackles around the ankles? Daniel Carter, Doug Howlett, Caleb Ralph, Mils Muliaina, Aaron Mauger, Scott Hamilton. Try watch some rugby sometime.

Try tackling NZ players like Lomu, Lauaki, Tuialii around the hips, you will get bulldozed.
