South African rugby has a very proud rugby heritage spanning over a hundred years. In order to maintain our standing in world rugby, and to help ensure rugby is the first choice sport for young players in South Africa we need high quality rugby coaching at all levels.
To achieve this, we cannot focus only at the professional level. We must start by laying a strong foundation through high quality coaching of our young players. I believe that this manual will enable you as coaches to further develop your own coaching skills, so that you can more effectively develop the young players you coach...

POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN EXECUTING A TACKLE:
|
Head up, eyes open
Focus on the target
The tackler must ensure that his head is to the side of the ball carrier's hips
The smaller the area, the lower the impact of the tackle
ENSURE THAT:
The person being tackled turns with the tackle
The person executing the tackle must have his head to the side of the ball carrier and must fall with his head on top of the opponent

The inability of teams to gain first phase possession from scrums is often the cause of their defeat.
The following points are vital to ensure the success and safety of the scrum:
All 8 players must learn to bind together correctly.
The players must only bind on instruction from the referee
|
|
If a player is unable to pass the ball before or during contact and he cant beat the opponent, he has no option other than to handle the situation by remaining on his feet. When the ball carrier cannot pass out the ball then a maul is formed.
|
|
SAFETY IN THE RUCK - REMEMBER
When the ball carrier is brought to the ground he drives forwards and drags the defender behind him, creating space to fall and place the ball
