That tackle by the 15 for Namibia is easily the bravest tackle ever on a rugby field

I mean what was he supposed to do? Get out the way? I would have done the same as him, go for that legs, a lot of big guys (not all) don't have great balance, so he might come with great force, but he is going down with his own force when he trips over me

I still remember that Faf tackle on Hughes with sadness. As a Wasps fan, Hughes had been tearing it up in the prem for a while, doing really well. We were so excited for his England call up to see what he could do. Then he gets absolutely obliterated by Faf (among other relatively mediocre performances). And that was that. Faf is a beast. Insane.

Antoine Dupont and his try saving tackle on Mack Hansen last Saturday during the Six Nations game against Ireland at Aviva Stadium could be in part two, perhaps?

I agree it was an incredible try saver. But Mack Hansen isn't a bigger guy than Dupont. Taller sure, but not more muscular.

@@31lafouine Agreed. Can't be a "small guy" tackle of the tackler isn't smaller than the tacklee.

@ludektichy8934 Жыл бұрын

@@Srioll Well...first, the title of the video does not say "small guys tackle large guys", but only "small guy tackles" in generel. So, in this respect, my comment fits. Moreover, Mack Hansen is 14 cm taller and 5 kg heavier than Dupont, so I would say he is indeed a bigger guy than Dupont.

Love when a big guy tries to stand a little guy up expecting some biff and then just get their legs taken from under them. My old man used to say it doesn’t matter how big he is, he can’t run without two legs! Grabbing hold of one and not letting go will do the trick. He also used to say it’s the fight in the dog that counts... which is true because I’ve seen many a big dog flee in terror from a Jack Russel!

Taqele Naiyaravoro features a few times and at Murrayfield in 2015 v Edinburgh whilst he was at Glasgow he was given a torrid time by Tom Brown who tackled him superbly all match! Sure Sam Johnson and Nick Grigg put some great tackles on Manu Tuilagi in the 2019 Calcutta Cup. Favourite of mine was Finn Russell on Samu Manoa, Scotland v USA 2015 RWC, big dump tackle from Finn which surprised everyone!

Joost tackle on Loma, 2min in Joost is in fact playing the World Cup final 1995 with a broken rib awesome tackle.

@makeperceive Жыл бұрын

I remember the Lomu / Joost moment, I thought "Oh no here we go", but Joost did the job like many could not. I think there may have been 2 successful tackles by him on Lomu in that game. Both legends. However Joost was not small; I met him once in person and was surprised how tall and athletic he was.

Compared to us yes…but small compared to the rest of the Springboks.

@YOYOTh1s Жыл бұрын

Weird thinking of Joost as the little guy. He was pretty big for a 9, but compared to Lomu, most would be the little guy. There was a tackle late in 2022 made by Edwill van der Merwe from the Lions on a Bulls forward, that would be at home in this video.

It's literally all positioning, no one can keep running without their legs. At school and club I was never a great rugby player in offence, or the fastest, or the biggest (at only ~80kg) but I was always one of the top defenders. I often got man of the match in losing games because the other team usually had the majority of possession and I absolutely shone in defence

Weird to make a compilation clearly inspired by a specific moment last weekend and then leave it out. Even if there is some rights issue with the recent games to leave Dupont out entirely makes no sense.

@AndrewDavidForde Жыл бұрын

It wasn’t clearly inspired by it as I’d made it and scheduled it before the weekends games! I’ll be happy to include that particular tackle in a second part 👍🏻
