Tackling - Practicing the side tackle

Another drill from ‘Charlies Rugby’ YouTube channel.

Simple drill to practice the side on tackle under duress.

Key Points

* Scan the hips
*Feet as close the ball carrier as possible
* Eyes on the thighs - dip body height for the tackle
* Use the correct shoulder - tackling to the right, right shoulder hit, get that head behind the runner!
* Wrap arms and pull in tight
* Drive your legs in the tackle
