It’s great

William Fox Australia

This is far away better than any training in tackling I’ve ever had.

Vinnie Chan Hong Kong

Muy buen vídeo , pero me gustaría la traducción en español

Mario Augusto Zamorano Nieto Germany

This is really excellent. Really simple straight advice. I like the outstretched hand and making tackler go under it. Great for the young ’uns and some old timers as well (:D

Mairtin Breathnach Ireland

Very good for my young boys thanks

Edouard Menvielle Spain

Long admirer of Rodney and the way he played the game has got a real quality way of getting across his message and using the latest up to date with current laws ways of approaching the basics – be using these for my Under 15s in West Wales

Ray Lerwill Wales

This was a great video on alignment. Simple and easy to understand. Thanks Rodney and your young players.

Mark Malone England

The simplicity of drill can be used in each training to enhance muscle memory and correct technique while eliminating the hand grabbers, also great transitional drill into faster tracking and tackle technique.

nigel tremain Australia

Great Video! Real essential breakdown of all the parts. The leg driving as demonstrated here, was enlightening with that second step. We were usually instructed to do more of the lunge, or go through type: this is better and I believe what we see in top-tier matches. Thanks mate.

Todd Elliott USA

great series – really like the detail and way Rodney breaks the tackle down into the individual elements, without it being about the contact.

Justin Trollip Australia

This is all great stuff, thanks Rodney! A brief word document of the main points would be a great add on, Rugby Site!

Chad Widmer Canada

Excellent break down of key factors for the tackle

Jeremy Cundy Canada

Nice demo uce. Thank you.

Pioiva Sasa USA

Fundamental pointers we so often forget to focus on, as we are always looking at the bigger picture. Great refresher.

Adrian Troy Lee South Africa

The video is not playing for me, I get sound only.

Carter Croft England

Very good break down of a core skill in rugby. Impressive in how he always explains the “why” which compliments the “how”.

Patrick Van Wyk Namibia

So many tackle techniques today poorly coached, leading to poor execution. This is an excellent session on how to perfect the little things make a big difference. Looking forward to more sessions from Rodney.

Morne USA

Great drill roddy, something we all can put into practice.

Carl Taopua New Zealand

Very good drill to break down skills and build confidence.

Mark casey Australia

Second Juan’s point! I feel like this is a great progression towards Sir Grahm or Wayne Smith’s tackling sections. I love the small detail focus regarding hand positioning upwards. I had coached tracking with hands in, but I think that the footwork to shoulder targeting is a brilliant bit.

Christopher Wierzbowski USA

I’m going to try this drill today. Looks a great basic drill.

John White New Zealand

great initial progression. then go to Ben Herrings series, and then Graham Henry´s…

juan pedro checchi Argentina

Shot Rodney. Mean.

Stacye keelan New Zealand

it is the best initial progression to the tackle I have ever seen

Ricardo Juan Martinelli Argentina

Good stuff !!! We can’t emphasize enough to stop using the arms when we want to tackle.
