with Shane Williams
Shane Williams played 87 caps for Wales and 4 for the Lions. He is Wales’ most capped winger and with 58 tries to his name is his country’s leading try scorer; and third on the list of international try scorers. Shane was first selected for Wales in 2000 by Graham Henry though suffered from injury and doubts over his size in his early years in the national side. He recovered from both and was part of the Wales Grand Slam winning sides of 2005 and 2008, and was named IRB Player of the Year in 2008. The diminutive winger became the darling of the Cardiff crowd as he sidestepped his way around the best defences in the world. Shane retired from international rugby in 2011 and will finish his playing career with the Ospreys at the end of the 2012 season.

I give away about 4 or 5 stone to some of the bigger wingers I play against. In this module I’ll share with you the tackling technique that has worked for me over 11 years of international rugby. Showing you how to use an attackers momentum to bring them to the ground, stay on top of them and execute turnovers.
Great video! A simple class on how to make the holes in defences to appear
Really enjoyed this drill. Shows that you don’t have to over complicate things.

Very usefull on last minute decision to avoid a tackle, decision making here is important along with the timing of the step.
Great demonstration of the side step. An even more important message for defenders “Never look at the attacker’s feet. Always look at the hips/ middle area.”
me gustaria q puedan traducir los videos a español.
