[QUOTE="edinburgh_gunner, post: 99939"] One thing that I've always been taught is when you go into the tackle, always go in with two hands. With one hand, it's easy for the opposition to rip the ball from you or you could knock it on. If you go in with two hands the chances of you dropping it is less, as is the chance the opposition can rip the ball from you. When you go to the ground, use your abs to turn your body so you're lying parrallell to the try line and place the ball as far back from you as you can. Lying parrallell gives you the advantage of widening 'the gate' (ie the point of entry to the ruck) and it's also easier to place the ball back. Another way to ensure retention is make sure that your ball carrier is isolated. If you find yourself on your own, try and stand for as long as possible and allow for support to arrive. [/QUOTE]
