[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 116931"] Alright then- crash tackle- lead with the shoulder, aim for the sternum, drive through with the legs. The idea is to basically hit the living shite out of your opponent, and to dislodge the ball if possible by it jarring in contact. The whole idea is to hit as high as possible, without conceding a penalty for a high tackle, and put your opposite number firmly on his ass. This is the ideal if your opponent is running straight at you, coming on the crashball. Smother tackle- get both hands around the chest area, wrapping up your opponent`s hands, thus he cannot offload in the tackle. Aim once again just under the sternum, and drive through with the legs. Not as important to put your opponent onto his backside, just make sure that he goes backwards, and can`t get his arms free to make the offload. Best done from broken play, when the opposition have numbers out wide, etc. Turning tackle- the idea is to get both arms around your opposite number, and physically turn him around, facing your side in order to win the turnoff. Best done when your opponent is in danger of conceding a turnover, eg. if you`re playing scrumhalf, your team has gone forward in a defensive scrum, and their no8 has decided to pick up and drive from the base, with little support. Can`t really explain the spiral pass, best to practise it by passing the ball through a target, eg. an old tyre on a piece of rope, set at a distance of approx. 5m from you. Hope that this helps.
