PART TWO: TACKLING, CONTACT, TEAMWORK, TACTICS

W elcome to Tackling, Contact, Teamwork, Tactics. Rugby is a contact sport and in this book we will be looking at how to prepare yourself to manage contact without losing the ball or hurting yourself. You will also learn how to stop opposition players by tackling them – this is great fun, but you need to know what you are doing!

Rugby players need to work together as a team to beat the opposition. How do you out-think them? You need to use tactics so that you can plan to do what the opposition is least expecting. Like a general in battle, you are trying to out-fox the enemy. The difference is that after the battle we shake hands with the opposition!

DID YOU KNOW?

The game of rugby was invented in 1823 at Rugby school in Warwickshire when a boy named William Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it. It is now played all over the world, and is particularly big in the Southern Hemisphere countries of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
