You are dead set kidding me.

The only position that doesn't tackle is "spectator". Maybe you should stick with Monopoly.

Everyone's has to tackle buddy. But I guess backs don't tackle as much. Like scrum halfed and fly halfs.

Backs have to be more secure tacklers, as well.

Just learn to tackle, honestly. Put your body infront of there's, and wrap you hands around there legs and just hold on. But of course learn proper head positioning in tackles.

Backs tackle much less then forwards, although more times then not, if a back misses a tackle, it results in a try. As with forwards you have more teammates around you, so if you miss a tackle, there should be someone there covering your ass

play rugby union... none of them can tackle haha


seriously though im presuming your playing union, and in all honestly, ill get flamed for this but props and second rows probably make the 'least tackles' or at least they dont make as many 1 on 1 tackle, more just scragging people down around rucks. Backs have to be the most competent tacklers in union, centres and stand offs have to tackle like **** cos everyone runs at them.


If your playing league, youll have to tackle most as a prop/2nd row and Loose or hooker, in middle of pitch getting stuck in. Winger and halfack make least tackles in League cos halfback in defence goes and stands out wide out of way so hes not tired in attack.

You won't get flamed. It's largely true.

not sure if serious......can't be serious if you know anything of the game

its a contact sport brah......Touch Rugby sounds like more for you

[Bignik92]

regardless theres loads of players who are rubbish at tackling... jus good at other things, no biggy just man up

[jamalfudge]

Prop here, I suck at tackling but as mentioned above, most of mine occur on pick and goes at the ruck. But most of the hookers and locks I have played with are pretty aggressive and are involved in many.

OP, you are trying way too hard on the internet and obvioulsy not hard enough onthe field. Worry about football season and not what youa re going to do in Rugby next quarter.

I played scrum half for 6 years and thought I was pretty good at tackling. I didn't realise I wasn't that good until I started playing 10.

I'd say they all tackle the sane except for 9

[gahptramsenoru]

you always have to tackle, no way out of it so ...

1. line them up and stay on your toes incase they step
2. crouch and drop your torso when they get close
3. drive your attacking shoulder into their gut / ribs and wrap their legs with your arms
4. drive forward

simple as that. dont drop to tackle to early though or you''ll get palmed and look like an idiot

Everyone has to tackle...unless they're on the bench.

The worst thing to do when it comes to tackling is be scared or nervous about it. Chances are you'll get injured if you go in half-hearted.

IMO wings and fullbacks make the least tackles, however they make the most important ones.

A good scrumhalf will make less tackles by standing off a ruck/maul and dictating to forwards where to go

but all in all you have to tackle, even if you just hold on to someone until a team mate comes and finishes the job
