An example of a perfect tackle in rugby

Sorry mate, but a perfect tackle has a firm squeeze. Shoulder to thigh, cheek to cheek and a firm grasp on the legs. Not connecting the tackle is how beginners most commonly dislocate their shoulder actually.

Wish all the young bloods all the best in their rugby careers. Love, respect and honour for your team mates and your opponents .

Thought the big bloke was going to smoke the initial ball carrier!

Perfect tackle effective efficient saves energy and minimizes injury risk for both players 👏 👌

Something about the first guy just looked so graceful 😅

This technique is good to use on big flankers and centers. Look how he waited for the player to change direction on his running, then he initialized his tackle.

Cheek to cheek. Wrap the ankles. Textbook. But if the attacker steps inside, the defender will be having a concussion test

A better one is when a winger tackles THE BEAST from South African springboks

Jack Howrath what a specimen. The young fills will hopefully make his debut with the storm.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Derrick Henry is in the endzone tackling like that

My friend did this! Got studded and left a gash on his head! He got 9 stitches

The people commenting discrediting this tackle have clearly never played the game. The ball carrier had stepped and was moving away from the tackler. If you saw this in full speed you’d realise the tackler made the absolute best read he could in that situation. 0 yards gained and still held onto the legs. Perfect tackle to me. Can’t always get a hit in with the shoulder it’s impractical to think like that .

A perfect tackle is when you make damn sure the attacking player hits the deck. So good tackle.
Hitting your shoulder into their hip is great... but if a quick player gives a good step you need to get low, hit their thighs and pull their legs together. Done perfectly here. This is a full back's tackle. Last man, no one gets past you on their feet, no matter how big or quick.

And as others have mentioned, if you tackle like this in open play you can get to your feet first and snatch the ball

If you ever feel useless, just remember the first clip

Growing up I was a big kid and because I was heavier and bigger then most kids my age I had to play 2 grades up with my older brother and I loved it, and I'm sure this kid can do the same because you can see he loves the game 🙌

Love is in the eyes of the beholder. Opposition man on the ground is a result. Not every opposing player presents themselves for the perfect take down. Class video nonetheless.

As a rep player and player who played along side these boys, teams look for theses tackles. Plain and simple it’s effective and garranteed great outcome

[beeemm]

9x out 10 that ends in a missed tackle 🤦🏽‍♂️

[shawngardiner]

The guy running and the guy tackeling are my positions

[Nazareeni]

A lot of grief from commenters but you have to consider he wasn't in a position to tackle cheek to cheek in time. Hence why this tackle is good; just one more half turn and his team would have easy pickings to jackal the ball. Now if the discussion was about the defender not fanning out and closing the gap soon enough, then that's another story.
