Every fullback’s worst nightmare 🫣

[dansaunders]

I never found big boys breaking through that much of a problem. They will always look to run through or over you. Give them the open space to the side, wait for them to be confused & think they can go around you & hit the legs low. You neutralise their weight advantage & they don’t know how to avoid a tackle from the side that’s lower than their hips 🤷‍♂️ played 15 for over 10 years

As a winger I always find the big lads easier to tackle, as you know they’re going to always going to try and go over you, so I find the tackle easier haha. By comparison really small, sharp and tricky backs are a nightmare 😂

[leonrobinson]

Worst nightmare is watching other people watch the big lad breakthrough and not react. You never leave your flyhalf, scrumhalf or fullback out to dry like that.

As a fullback I love it when forwards make line break and want to run over me. It's a great feeling when you then hit them on the side of the knee and they go down

Why does everyone on that field look like their over 110kg lol

[xolisamelamane]

I am fullback myself and that is true. All the pressure is on the fullback. If you mess all the blame is on you

Nothing better than rugby on a high school field, ankles deep in mud with every step, like everything’s happening in slow motion.

Used to be really good in full back like easily tackling people much taller than me in full back. Then Covid came and rugby had to shut down. I lost all my confidence in tackling and still haven’t got it back but I still play full back

[toast]

with the big lads, they don't try to step, you just hit them low, hard, and close down their space so you have momentum

[King-rh]

As a full back I never found it that hard all you had to do was use their momentum and fall backwards with them
It is the fast agile lads who I struggle against

[realz_wys]

I’m a big boy for my age
5’7 65 kg
And I’ve always found that those big guys who u think are scary and run at 1 mph are easy af to tackle
Like I run 100m in 14 seconds but these big guys don’t run fast at all, u just have to get an angle and grab their legs

[zakbenham]

That's why u need to get so low. Especially on big guys, I always put 1 knee on the floor so im tackling around there knees/shin/ankle depending on how tall/big they are

[twoldthis]

Andre the Giant was also a Rugby Union player... who knew!

[sagyopants]

The defender on the left wanted that tackle from behind so bad haha.

[hevil]

Yeah, Just ask England's Mike Cat in 95 RWC semifinals Vs New Zealand. That day he meet Goliath.

[robertp]

Full back to square on...show him a side...then tackle...slide down and fish hooks ankles together....and then

[NexxeX]

meanwhile me who thought it was football :)

[KippaxDan]

I’m guessing that full back plays another sport these days.

[countycricklewood]

Think they all need to go back to the basics.

I'm 10 and I'm on the 11th and I played there
