  • Thanks for the advice :)

  • this is really useful and that but im not really sure what to do because i am actuallly rather tall compared to the rest of my team. I am 6ft i havent finished growing and everyone else is quite a bit shorter. i am 15

  • @jackattk1 if your tall bend your kneas half way and then you spring into the takel i am also 15

  • @jackattk1 ur not rather tall lol... ppl u play with are jst midgets... anyway theyll catch up soon.

  • That's the best advice I've ever heard!

  • amazing advice

  • not all whites are tall (They usally average around 5'9 to 5'11) it really depends on where your from I'm probably that tall because of my Danish-German ancestry and because my dad always made sure i ate a balanced diet too And no offence taken mate but as i said it really depends on genes and diet (Good examples are the Dutch they average 6'1 for males , Lithuanians 6'2-6'3 same, Ukrainians 6'2) so really don't worry about your height it comes down to a good diet, exercise and genes

  • I don't understand his kiwi accent, what does he say you have to focus on at 0:31? The "coor" or something like that. What is that.

    That's a great video BTW, really hepful

  • @flokurt he means core, like the abdominal area

  • It docent help

  • im a prop umm pretty heavy for my age 116kg and i nvr do perfect tackle cos i always hug my opposition n fell on em.. and the best part is when u fell on a guy ull hear the sound "urghhh" hahhahah

  • @zarol95 fuckin hell wouldn't want to fuck with you i'm 6'4 and 96-99 kg and i never make a perfect tackle either but smash em they ain't goin anywhere

  • @WhiskerScot569 how old r u buddy? ur frickin TALL!!! hahaha im like a midget to u! ... yeah. perfect tackle umm for pussies? jokes haha...

  • @zarol95 your 5'8 aren't you that's the right height for a prop but there isn't a lock on my team thats the same height or weight as me so i just end up spinning the scrum around so i think i'm better as the 8 or a flanker but if the coach want's me there i'll be there where do you come from because you look like (Plz don't get offended if i'm wrong) like a polynesian e.g somoan, tongan kiwi so you must have a good rugby community down there up here nobody likes rugby that much so......

  • @WhiskerScot569 but for international rugby theyre tall around 5'11-6'1.. so i feel kinda short/midget when ii hang around with my teammates.. haha... its okay man didnt get offended at all.. im from malaysia but my ancestors we're polynesian .. im like a mix of poly and asian.. and yeah i gt lots of comment about my look ppl keep askin me wether im samoan or etc ahhaha... where ur from buddy? and what's ur height?

  • @zarol95 well you don't stop growin until your 21 so it's more than likely you'll be 5'11 to 6'0 so it's all good and honestly i'm from lots of places through my dad i'm spanish-german and through my mum i'm siclian-danish but i was born in scotland and i'm 22 and i'm 6'4 hence why i'm a lock or 8 but i've also played fullback wing and blind flanker and again don't worry about your height i was 5'7-5'8 when i was sixteen and i'm 6'4 now so you never know

  • @WhiskerScot569 i hope so bro.. i always wanted to be around 5'12-6'2... woooww tht's coool!!! 6'4? holy cowwww 9 inches taller than me! ahahah really? but ur whites , whites are damn tall no offense ust saying hahhaa

  • @zarol95 *21 not 22 sorry i was in a rush*

  • cook the man some .... eggs..

  • tongan prid yaaahhhh 

  • 16 aint a prop!

  • he's filipino

  • @TheFilipinoCarl He's Samoan but possibly has a bit of Chinese ancestary as well.Many Samoans do.

  • hi miles if your watching this cool

  • ugghhhhh kiwis

  • a reaally good techniquie is when u are running up to the oposing player to make the tackkle as u get closer do smmaller steps so when they go to step u u can move allot faster and more effectivly

  • This is really useful. I don't usually miss tackles but with this I'm sure I'm taking down everyone.

  • i watch this before every game

  • these tackle are too high.

  • Pat Lamb would make a GREAT All Black coach

  • On 1:53= what a tackle

  • This is why NZ have such a good national side. Its a product of the excellent coaching the kids get at age grade levels. Playing against people of equal weight, rather than age seems a good idea too.

  • @FIKAboys your not making any sense

  • 5 ppl are pussies

  • Good video, and good tackling skills::)

  • 5 people play soccer

  • @jeremyhen100 No, they play Gridiron and disliked the lack of pads

  • hope it works for me :)

  • nice vid :D

  • quien pudiese subtitular el video?

  • i was doing the punch thing at 5.03 and i punched the screen by accident and made a hole in the screen and cut my fist. lol

  • 5 people got smashed on the weekend...

  • great help

    

  • Pat gives a great explanation of preparation before the tackle. This is very important as it sets you up to make an effective tackle. Eyes on the core, face up, elbows in and hands up. Get off the mark, keep taking space on your opponent an close on him with shorter steps. Get in as close as you can staying on your feet, don't dive into the tackle (big injuries occur with this method). The contact target zone is with chest & shoulder, punch arms through and drive with legs.

  • im a back wing and in practice im getting decked again and again. i need to get better at tackling and taking/avoiding/charge through tackles. any tips?

  • @notsuchaclevername11 if the opponent is bigger then you, then the best way is to crouch low and wrap your arms around their legs. Its good because you feel less force and of course they can't run without their legs so they go down straight away.

  • @notsuchaclevername11 as a wing, you should focus 100% in wrapping legs, when they come at you, you crouch and jus warp their legs, don't need to try to stop the enemy with streght.

  • i wish he were my coach :(

  • does this apply to rugby league not that it better than union

  • @rennan234rockstar Sure I don't see why not :)

  • @zakjoshuamorgan oh right cool. by the way, that last bit of by comment that got cut off was basically saying that a lot of people almost go in head first/chest first. Just practice making sure your getting your head out of the way and making good contact with a shoulder. Hope that helped :)

  • Try making sure you're going low. Big guys are gonna weigh alot, and I'd they're running fast their momentum will be huge. Straight up tackles won't cut it unless you're big yourself, but a low tackle effectively can trip them up, as their upper body will maintain huge momentum but their legs will stop moving, and they probably fall down pretty hard. And if you're getting hurt try as much as possible to get them with a shoulder, a lot if the time, especially when tackling quick guys people end

  • I'm having trouble when a fast strong and big player is running at me if I try to tackle them I normally get hurt and I never take them down. Any tips?

  • @jakezak with bigger players you have a size advantage so i just get as low as i can and wrap below the waist. Alternatively, making contact with your body sideways allows you to lean back and use the heavier players weight/momentum against him.

  • Thanks for the comment I agree with the shorter steps going forward but the main object of the tackler initially is to take space and to put pressure on the decision making capabilities of the attacking player.

  • Great video but why dance before making the tackle?

  • @acroo1231 It's to try keep yourself on your toes so you can move with the opposing player.

    A lot of players hold on their heels (flat footed) which makes it a lot harder to move fast laterally, you tend to see these players with stationary lower bodys trying to lean across into tackles, which will make you weaker, and possibly get pushed off easy.

    If you stay on ya toes, you can move across with the player, and also drive into the tackle easier etc. Think short steps.

  • @fabiio do you literally mean to stay on your toes or do you mean it as a figure of speech? just want to make sure :p

  • @geochaosakanick I mean literally on your toes. It's to try avoid standing back on your heels (a.k.a planting your feet) which tends to make you slower to physically react, and more likely to lean and reach for a tackle if they evade you. As opposed to stepping with and tackling through them (which is what you want).. If that makes sense.

  • @fabiio thanks. another thing, you know how we're supposed to get low? to do this, is it better to bend at the waist as if you were bowing, or to bend at the knees like a squat?

  • @geochaosakanick Hmm good question. I would say both (lol). Whatever you feel comfortable with and can remain balanced. Have a look at Pat at around 5:15

    Sometimes I personally prefer to get lower than that (during the point of contact), with my spine as close to horizontal as I can. Sort of like a spear, and hit around their waist. But that does sometimes allow their arms to get free to offload the ball.

  • @fabiio thank you very much. i do the same thing.

  • @acroo1231 you called that dance?? you dump ass

  • @acroo1231 maybe its to trick your opponent?

  • jango fett!!

  • nice one.

  • I checked out that website in the vid description and half the videos on that site aren't worth watching, and the ones that are only really focus on the scrum.

  • i played a team at the start of my season and we lost 46 nil and then we watched this and we won 42 14 see how much this helped

  • man they have gnarly hair

  • always look at the body area, i play hockey and rugby and my hockey coaches have always told me watch the upper body area, mostly the chest and core. this applies to all contact sports because the upper body is the key to reading the oppositions moves

  • Brilliant video, hope this is going to help

  • I want a coaching DVD with this a more on for sure. Thanks for posting mate :)

  • @kingclueless Have a look at the link in the video description (I've just updated it). There are more videos there. I'm not sure how good they are, but it is the same source this vid is from (although it has changed a lot since I saw last).

    Hope there is some more good stuff in there :)

  • Great Pointers there mate

  • @1:16 keep focused on his whatt?

  • @Llansis "Have a look at is core" ie: Abdomen

  • amazing vid i'm only starting rugby and these tips are gonna be really helpful

  • You actually happen to be especially beautiful, many thanks for the video. its pathetic i'm located within Tagg Flats for the reason that i cannot get great make-up, then again i get free of cost cosmetics samples through "Gratis Makeup Samples". i adore Max factor cosmetics!

  • i kinda need help cuz im having just a little trouble perfectly wrapping people who juke, any tips?

  • @LilAlboboii my advice is: keep on your toes so can stick close to them (don't get caught flat footed). Then make sure you get shoulder contact on them, if you only make arm contact you will get brushed off.

    Another tip is to initially stay on their inside shoulder and force them to take a path around your outside shoulder. If you're directly in front of them they have two paths/directions to go to get around you, and therefore can easily fake one direction and make you over commit.

  • @fabiio wow thanks a lot

  • would love it if one of them shouted out "puck you sir!"

  • is this a joke what complete bullshit.....

  • @seanmcer2010

    whats so wrong about it?

  • They are doing it wrong. They stop when they tackle. YOU SHOULD RUN NOT STOP,THAT WILL GET YOU KILLED.

    Dont instruct wrong !

  • Does anyone have any rugby advice 4 a little azn rugby player with past shoulders dislocations haha

  • A good coach!!! kiwi's

  • All of this works I'm a 140LB Flanker maybe the smallest forward in my league, using this helped a lot based of my own calculations I think my tackle completion rate is up from 45% to 68% thanks!

  • Wow whats with the wacky hair doos =P

  • @ryo97 Kiwi hair doos!

  • @iraiacantshuffle

    Islander/Maori Boy 'dos.

    Faux Hawk with shaved sides, often tinted blonde.

  • @SD78 otherwise known as the "bro"hawk

  • thx for sharing

  • Im having troubles tackling line players who are coming at me on full speed.

    Any suggestions ?

  • @Woestijnvalk get them low on the hips there speed will cause them to loose ballance

  • @Woestijnvalk

    try to tackle low and lock down the movement of the opposing player's legs - without legs they cant move. If you dont manage to hold on you've at least slowd him down for other team mates to catch him. Although, I like to tackle mid-chest, right at the core, and fall back to the ground - dragging them with me. If running at full speed, they'll have a lot of momentum, and all you have to do is direct this momentum downwards. Just remember - eyes up, and be ballsy.

  • I think Ive found the sport ive been looking for. I have tried most sports and I feel this is the final sport ..Im 6ft 1 and 220 lbs ..im hoping i can knock out a few person lol!

  • Good stuff mate. Some helpful hints there.

  • @Halifaxtanning.. dis video is about tackling... now how to counter ruck or steal the ball after tackling your opponent..

  • I am 15 years old, 145 pounds, i have played hooker for a while but there's a strong change that i'll play wing for the next season. I play on a men's team and i am probably the smallest person on any of the teams and i can't tackle these guys worth shit... any advice?

  • @jogo00062 doesnt matter how big you are its technique and balls that helps you get the guy to the ground. just dont be scared and take them around the legs if thy're big.

  • @jogo00062 Start taking steriods mate.

  • @jogo00062 tackle low and hard with your body behind your shoulder and a solid leading leg and have no fear. One of the toughest tacklers in New Zealand domestic rugby for years was a halfback (can't remember his name), and NZ'ers are the kings of the game. Size and strength can help, of course, but technique is the most important part of the tackle. 145 pounds is not small for a 15 year old, particularly if you are on the wing.

  • Go on the fuckin juice

  • i have never been taught this, makes you think why new zealanders are so good at rugby

  • @hanros98 Cause we have the Frank Bunce tackling mentality... "if you really want to tackle someone, you'll find a way". This video is more for injury prevention than anything. You can't learn to tackle, it's an attitude.

  • I play league and this is my second season and my first season was 4 years ago. my first game back I played centre and had a solid girl run through me all day. I've been looking for something like this for the last month (thank god I finally found it) This weekend I'm playing hooker and I'm so gonna try all these technique.... Thanks.

  • NICE TECHNIQUES. 

  • 1:03

    of course hes not gonna tackle him if he doesnt even try to?

  • Thanks for the video really helped me. I'm a small guy 5'4 ,120 lb's and I am 15. I'm comfortable with everything in rugby except for tackling and watching this video was the best thing I ever did. well besides actually playing rugby of course! thanks. sincerely,Hurley

  • The only thing he's forgotten is the "afters".

    "Ok, now I've got him on the ground, what I wanna do is quickly chew his nose off while the ref's unsighted..."

    Know what I mean?

  • @halifaxtanning or hold him on the ground if he has off loaded...while the ref isnt looking :)

  • Any tips on how to tackle henry tuilagi? hahahaha..

    dammn dat dude is a beast..

  • Any tips for a guy who wants to run left wing?

  • Hey says "alright g'day guys"

    Could be hard to pickup because he says it quite quickly.

  • @fabiio def sound like gay guys :P

  • I'm sure he says 'alright gay guys' at the very start lol

  • its new zeland because you can see the feather in the uniforms and in the wall behind them also because the factions of their bodies and the skin color, obiously not australian

  • this has really helped me, im getting better at tackling, but still not the greatest.

  • Pat Lamb is a Kiwi of Samoan decent and played most of his career in NZ. He was one of the best tacklers in the game.

  • The core means your torso

  • no it doesnt, the core is your abdomin

  • Which covers about 2 thirds of the torso, lol...

  • Sorry i cant understand what they say there english is fine but accent is odd, What do they meen by the core? During the tackling part

  • @coolyaid its english !!!! you dumbass their maori's

  • @t3Hroyce I think your the dumbass. he said they have perfect english but he can't understand the accent

  • its australian lol

  • its new zealand not australian i know cos im pure australian

  • @coolyaid the hip area, midsection

  • i have this one question the move that u showed at 5:18... wat if that other guy is much more massive (bigger) and u run at him while he is running at u, and u do that wouldnt u get ran over?? becuz u cant really stop the momentom, do i have to like try to twist to the side with him so i'm the one who is going to end up on him.. or is that a bad idea? becuz i'm 150lb and i'm done that to 300lb guys i'm just tryin to be sure here that i wont get seriusly injured next time! thanks! plz reply..

  • I would suggest, for the bigger guys, maybe making your shoulder content a bit lower on the opposing player (around the hips). That way if his momentum does go forward you can roll backwards onto your back. The bulk of his weight will be on the ground (above your shoulder).

    I hope that makes sense.

  • First line should read "making your shoulder contact"

  • @vovka444 also you can try to shift his weight left or righr a bit so he wont fall directly on top of you

  • @vovka444 approach in the same way. Punch through to the back and wrap him up and pull towards you. Wrap him up letting him come towards you but not letting him go. Hook your leg around his shin area so he trips, twist to your strong side, and let the momentum drop him to the ground so that you end up on top.

  • @vovka444 the only problem with this technique is that you lose the contact and they have the advantage of momentum forward.

  • great advice about the arms o.O never ealised that.

    And they are all maoris lmao

  • @Nik2555 they are a mixture of pacific islanders and maoris

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

    (:

    iLOVED thee video!!

    a video that didn't disgrace Rugby!

    techniques that didn't irritate me!

    MAN OH MAN!!

    beautiful techniques!!

    &&&&&

    I Love Their Accents!

    lol!

  • oh yeah,even a full back like me need this kind of video

  • i been looking for this video wow thanks alot you helped me today brothers... props for the coach too

  • will try this out!

  • I cried a little when I saw this video....for once, and I never thought it would happen, youtube has actually had an instuctional post that was not a complete shambolic farce. If I want to learn how to knock someone out in rugby, get me a 100 kilo Kiwi that looks like he gets in fights for fun, not some chubby whaler standing in a field in Omaha showing me how to get knocked completely unconscious by a knee (the last vid I saw)....I am pulling it together now...great posting mate!!!

  • No worries. Checkout the original website in the vid description. They have more videos etc - good source for info.

  • @Rome292 exactly for fuck sake haha !

  • I play high school girls' rugby in the States and my coach always told us to tackle below the hips. Actually, more around the knees to bring them down harder and quicker. Why, at 5:17, is he so high? Is that right, too?

  • you're right, but actually while you're tackling to the knees, the opponent is able to make a pass easily, that s why it s better to stop your opponent like he is doing, and then slide down to the knees so that you re sure that evrybody fall on the ground... but you also have to look at the weight difference between you and the other, or you could be a little bit shattered...^^

  • Either way is correct, as long as you get them to the ground :)

    If you go low, you can drop them straight to the ground. However their arms are free to offload the ball.

    If you go above the knees, you can drive their body backwards behind the advantage line.

  • @mcrxloverx92 Try different things. Starting out, you're going to want to get low. It will help you get them down more quickly, especially if they're big girls... you want to wrap up their legs.

    If they're smaller, I prefer driving my shoulder into the hips. Both are correct...

  • Core is the torso area & hips

  • what does he mean the core? the torso or the penis area?

  • A little from column A, a little from column B.

  • @amangonecrazy torso, I believe.

  • i always tackle with perfect technique.. but i still broke my collar bone last game when taking down a guy comming into contact full speed..... if someone knows what to do in case the guy comes into u like a fucking train please tell me

  • shoot him

  • i`dont speek english well so check my video from winter tackle training.

    at 0: 27 there is perfect "side tackle"... we use this technique do takedown spirnters.

    i set my opponnent to good way, than do step a side from his road... grab his legs one hand, spin around and tackle him from side...

    my movie will tell you this in better way. ; )

  • hey thanks i watched the side tackle, it looks effective, i cant wait to try it out once i can come out to the field again

  • @elmariachidelmal4

    Then something is obviously going wrong. in Rugby you tend to only injure yourself if you're not watching where you are putting your body or your technique is wrong.

    When i toured canada and played against your top teams i found that the Centres of all the teams were tackling like it was american football. it was so easy to break the tackle, but most importantly break them, brilliant for a flanker.

    how do you tackle, i can assure you it isn't perfect.

  • hahah funny i actually play in canada and i play as an outside centre...... i try to tackle with all the tips that are given, get low shoulder into bellybutton, wrap legs and drive.... when i broke my collar bone, i ws comming into contact with a fullback returning a kick he got really low and i stuck my collar bone into his shoulder, it was a huge hit, he hurt his neck or something too

  • @elmariachidelmal4

    good bosh from the full back, surprising! You didn't mean wrap your legs did you?

    When an attacker is coming low in, like double bent over, a leg or body tackle is useless. Instead, put your leg out let the body go over it and pull him down by his shirt. he will go over like a falling sack of shit. Thus you will be in a standing position almost immediatly ready to tear the ball off him. if he is the full back the opposition is going to be in serious trouble!!!

  • LOL, right at the beginning he says "right gay guys" hahahaha

  • great instructional video!

  • Excellent.

  • great video

  • America is shit at rugby.

  • @tomodude6542 America??? do you mean US, because America is a whole continent!!

  • The only reason I wish I was born somewhere else. I love rugby, but all we care about is American football...

  • #16 has a SAMullet .

  • Yeahhh..Thazzz ma uncle pat lam

  • He says "Right, gidday guys"
