Shoulder tackle - side-on
The tackler should:
- keep ‘eyes up’
- maintain a strong, stable and low body position
- target and make contact with their shoulder on the ball carrier’s thighs
- squeeze their arms tight around the ball carrier’s legs, drive with their legs and bring the ball carrier to ground
- roll to finish on top of the ball carrier
- release the ball carrier and get back to their feet quickly
- contest for possession
