[QUOTE="woosaah, post: 93279"] ok i am no expert but my take on tackling. you said you are fullback? of all my experience *cough* one game *cough* i found that you had to stay back alot and try read the play and only tackle when the players have made a break or on your own line trying to stop a try. if you are far from your line i would go for the legs up to the waist. as its easier to bring a guy down if you chop the legs out from underneath him. I am a small guy (very small only in height mind you) but i found out that you need to take the guys down more than stop them playing at full back. if you are on your own line you will have more cover and should be able to go for legs while the other tackler goes for the ball or vice versa. as for practice, i did alot when i was at school just playing practice games. when i was at home i just did some running around, you know the normal stuff. also helped that i did martial arts for my fitness. anyway i digress. just practice running and imagining there is someone there, you dont get the impact when you tackle but imagination can still be a big part of practice. meh but what do i know eh :) welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
