  • @DaBigCheeseLuigi mate side on tackles on your line are only good near the sideline to put them over, otherwise hold them up if not drive them back and smack em

  • I find Cover Tackles really tricky too. I too can hit players back when they are running straight or are near me but covering tackels (even though I am fairly fast) I find difficult. I find that if they are near the line, I can't stop their momentum by hitting them from the back or side and also, if I do MAKE the tackle, It takes me too long to get up.

    Any more tips?

  • gotta love the classic salmon placement from the number 9. theres a guy thats been trained well.

  • The thing about cover tackle is, the runners are on the move so you compute their motion in your head to aim at where they will be when you make the hit, rather than where they are now.

    Josh Lewsey on De Villiers was a great example of this

  • I'm your typical brown boy from NZ and I'm able to hit fairly hard and knock players back if they run 'at' me, but I've always kind of found it difficult making covering tackles. Big hits look spectacular and the crowd enjoys them, but I'm too stuck in that mentality and need to make sure of my tackles a bit more sometimes. I never really learned or was taught otherwise, but these videos help break it down a bit.

    Very helpful vid, and will try use it to add more of a dimension to my tackling.
