Hitting Tackle Shields
1. 3 on the tackle shields and the rest evenly behind the cones opposite the tackle pads. 2. All 3 call "Hold, Hold, Hit" and all rush up and hit the tackle pads. 3. Once they've hit the tackle pads they then hold the tackle shields and the next 3 go. 4. This should be a quick paced drill and once they have done a couple good hits get the tackle pads to walk towards them.

Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.
The isolated ball carrier is rugby's spookiest turnover. Here is the five-step fix, plus drills that rebuild support lines fast.
Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
