[QUOTE="Lá Bombonera, post: 94506"] A few hardcore questions from me about tackling: 1- In many cases (for example as seen in the first scenes of SaintsFanWebby's TRF Rugby Compilation video in YouTube) players can make a tackle on the opponent's torso. (like what Gavin Henson did to Matthew Tait in 2005 six nations) In my opinion that looks pretty cool for the fans. Would you like to give out some tips on how to do that? 2- Again in many compilation videos, I see many tackles made to the necks and heads of the opponents. I thought that a tackle made above the shoulders was considered as a dangerous tackle? 3- Practically, while making a tackle, we're told to keep our eyes on the hips and the legs of the opponent, and to take the opponent to our shoulder area with keeping our heads outside. But how is this possible since your opponent is on the run and you've got to make it in 1-2 seconds? Both going for the hips, arranging your stance so that your shoulderline meets the opponent's waist, and also in the cases that you need to apply it to a forward player who has a large belly and wide hips? The answers to these questions are very important to me since tackling is important to me. I'm playing the right wing, so if I miss a tackle, 80% it will end up as conceding a try. Thanks a lot.
