Nick Farr-Jones, a former Wallaby great has recently talked about his ideas for improving the state of Australian rugby. NFJ has come out and said that he believes that there should be a change to player’s contacts, so they have to make 20-30 appearances at community rugby games and events throughout the year.  NFJ believes that this will lead to a resurgence in grass roots rugby, as well as prepare the professional players for life after rugby, teaching them communication skills and ways to present themselves. NFJ praised the women of rugby, as they often make appearances at community events such as Ladies Day for various local clubs.

Tackling Technique

Author: Alex McLachlan  Tackling is one of the most vital parts of Rugby. Younger players must realise that tackling is not about your strength and size or the strength and size of the opposing players, but rather the technique that you have. The ideal tackle will see the tackler have their foot close to the body of the opposition player. The tacklers shoulder should come into contact with the waist of the opposition, this is an important step as using hands and jersey grabbing is a very ineffectual way to tackle and it increases the chances of you breaking your finger. Finally, when tackling you should always end up on top of the tackled player. Here is a video you can follow to help guide you with your form!
