[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 119809"] Good to see that you`ve also figured out that there are some occasions when the classical crash-tackle can`t be used True Legend. That`s been my whole point of argument with you over here. In terms of your crash-tackle technique, nothing wrong with it mate, provided that the opposition ball-carrier is coming straight at you, arm extended for the handoff, shoulder braced for contact, ball firmly protected under the non-carrying arm. In that case, you know he`s coming on the crash ball. The worst case scenario for your team now is that he crosses the gain line, thus giving his support runners the shorter route to the breakdown, and your loosies the long road, through the gates at the back of the resulting ruck. In this case, yeah smash the guy with a crash tackle. No problems there mate. The only problem that I had with our original post was that it appeared as if you only ever wanted to do the crash-tackle, never the smother tackle, turnaround or push-down tackle. This is simply not possible, unless of course you`re playing against the Bulls, who only ever use the crash-ball! By the way, my tackling technique might not have gotten me to international or even provincial level, but it certainly helped me towards winning 5 Grand Challenge Shields with my former club Crusaders, and an appearance in the SA Club Championship Final about 3 years ago.
