Tackling technique in rugby

How to tackle

Make sure your head is tucked behind your opponent's body. Wrap your arms around the ball carrier's legs, grip tightly and hold on. You've got a man to bring down. Continue to drive through to complete the tackle.

Different passing techniques in rugby

The locks from the second row, pushing against the front row during the scrum thereby providing much of the power and are commonly known as the engine room. They are almost the tallest players on the team and are the primary targets when the ball is thrown in line-outs. Locks known as second rows must also have good catching and tackling ability. The locks jersey numbers are 4 and 5.

A fly-half is crucial to team's game plan; they process leadership and order the back line. They are usually the first to receive the ball from the scrum-half following a breakdown, line-out or scrum and need to be decisive with what actions to take and be effective at communicating with the outside backs. Good fly-halves are calm, clear thinking and have the vision to direct effective attacking plays. Fly-halves need good passing and kicking skills. Often fly-half is the best kicker in the team and needs to be able to execute attacking kicks such as up-and-under, grubbers and chip kicks for territory. Many fly-halves are also the teams goal kickers. The jersey's number is 10.

Number 8 is the only position that does not have a specific name in English and is simply referred to as "number eight" or "eight man". They bind between the second rows at the back of the scrum, providing extra weight at the push. Number eights interact with the scrum-half at the back of the scrum to control and provide clean ball for the back. They can also pick the ball from the back of the scrum and run with it or flick it to the scrum-half. At line-outs, they can be either another jumper or lifter.

Kicking in Rugby

What is a scrum?

The props "prop up" the hooker in the scrum. They form part of the front row of the scrum and push against the oppositions props. The loose-head prop is positioned to the left of the hooker and his head will be on the outside of the scrum when it engages. The tight-head is to the right of the hooker with his head positioned between the opposition hooker and the opposition loose-head prop. The prop's main role is to provide stability at the scrum and support the hooker in quickly moving the ball. The props are number 1 and 3.

A scrum is an ordered formation of players, used to restart play, in which the forwards of a team form up with arms interlocked and heads down, and push forward against a similar group from the opposing side. The ball is thrown into the scrum and the players try to gain possession of it by kicking it backwards towards their own side (hookers role).

Good rugby passing is a key part of your game. Use these different passes so you are confident you have great skills and you pass the ball well in play.

How To Know About Rucks And Mauls in Rugby

What is a Maul?

The maul is about physical strength and power. The maul is when at least three players from either side are in contact together, challenging the player with the ball, moving towards a goal line. But what makes the maul different to the ruck is the ball is not on the ground but in hand.

What is a Ruck?

When it comes to rules and regulations, the ruck is one of the more complex parts of rugby union. When a tackled player goes to ground, they must release the ball immediately. As soon as that happens, the opposition will want to get their hands on the ball, and the team in possession will not want to give it away.

The flanker's role is to tackle the opposition and try to steal the ball. The open side flanker binds to the side of the scrums that covers the greatest area, while the bind side nearest the side-line. They bind loosely to the side of the scrum, but still play an important role in keeping the props tight by pushing at an angle. They should be the first forward to a breakdown from a scrum or line-out and are expected to link with the back line or secure the ball at the tackle. Both positions have a high work rate, meaning the players need to be fit, fast and good at reading the oppositions attacking plays. The flankers jersey's numbers are 6 and 7.

11&14. The wings are generally positioned the outside of the back line with the number 11 on the left and the number 14 on the right. Their primary function is to finish off moves and score tries. Wingers are usually the fastest players in the team and are either elusive runners or, more recently, big, strong and able to break tackles. The skills needed for the left wing and the right wing are similar, although left-footed players are usually played on the left wing as that can step and kick better off their foot. The winger on the blind side "come off the wing" to provide an extra man in the midfield, in the same vein as a full-back. One or both wingers will usually drop back on opposition kicks to give the full-back extra options for counter-attacking.

The scrum-half is the link between the forwards and the backs. They receive the ball from the line-out and remove the ball from the back of the scrum, usually passing it to the fly-half. They also feed the scrum and sometimes have to act as a fourth loose forward. Along with the fly-half, they make many of the tactical decisions on the field. During general play, the scrum-half is generally the player who receives the ball from the forwards and passes it to the backs. They are good communicators, especially at directing the forwards around, and their aim is to provide the back with clean ball. Good scrum-halves have an excellent pass, a good tactical kick and deceptive runners. At defensive scrums they put pressure on the opposition scrum-half or defend the blind side. On defense in open play they generally cover for deep kicks after the ball has been passed wide. Traditionally, best scrum-halves are the ones who are short. The jersey number is 9.

Hooker is one of the positions in rugby league. Usually wearing jersey number 9, the hooker is one of the team's forwards. During scrums the hooker plays in the front row with the two prop's beside him, and the position's name comes from their role 'hooking' or 'raking' the ball back with the foot. The hooker's number is 2.
