Is there a tackle in this video missing? Let me know and I'll look at making a part two!

[@abrahamtomahawk]

Jason White, Sco vs Ita 2006. Last minute on Le Cicero. Flattened him, got over the ball, won the penatly.

[@AndrewDavidForde]

@@abrahamtomahawk any idea if there’s video footage of it online anywhere?

[@abrahamtomahawk]

@@AndrewDavidForde don't know I'm afraid.

[@Nellyspence]

@@abrahamtomahawk lol already got 3 of him making awesome hits 😉

[@abrahamtomahawk]

@@Nellyspence He did make quite a few!

[@asadok7452]

Just a quick reminder of how good a defensive player was johnny Wilkinson. Outstanding technique !

[@JKMeZmA]

And brave too, wee man taking some right monsters

[@kieronlazenbury5491]

Wilkinson was a complete player great in both defence and attack

[@Bpt8825]

The man who put his body on the line

[@bobstephens5599]

I still get so sad every time I hear Eddie's commentary. Will be sorely missed this 6N.

[@31lafouine]

Warburton on Tuilagi, and Roberts on Bowe are incredible tackles. Roberts is wrongfooted by the pass, and has to bring down Bowe coming in at full tilt, 5 meters out... Truly impressive

[@18199]

I'll tell you what I love about your videos... if I want to see a replay, its KZbin, I can rewind it. Canr stand these channels that show the same tackle 5 times just to make the videos longer. Spot on complilation again 👏

[@raydenwins1071]

Jason White tackle on Kevin Maggs was in there twice.

[@dontbeaverage152]

This just makes me sad knowing that Eddie Butler isn’t going to be commentating this year 😢

[@eatmyshamrock]

Two absolutely brilliant recovery sprint and tackles from Keith Earls. One of Ireland's greatest ever players, but rarely gets the recognition he deserves

[@leeofdoom4452]

True story: I worked with Patterson in Edinburgh, and asked him about the Foden tackle when first meeting him with a university womens team mostly full of foreign players who were new to the game. Chris didnt really know what tackle I was talking about so I talked him through it, older statesman, young explosive attacker, head start, didnt have the angle no right to get to the tackle etc... A month later, I showed that tackle to the womens team, they were astounded, and we named a scramble play Patterson. He was at a finals game when he heard the call, and asked me what it meant, when I explained he laughed like a maniac, and wrote it down lol What a gent!

[@daegrant]

Excellent video. RIP Eddie Butler. Hats off to Peter Stringer and for Wilkinson, O'Driscoll and other backs for punching above their weight. However, who would want to be hit by Jason White? Apart from Jerry Collins and Jerome Kaino, I can't think of anyone more destructive

[@malcolm9650]

Jason White💪🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@JKMeZmA]

So glad you’ve included some of Jason White. A forgotten hard man and great loosey.

[@davidhughes8795]

He always seemed to have great technique as well.

[@JKMeZmA]

@@davidhughes8795 yes exactly!

[@Deathst4lker]

Some really great cops mate - thank you. And a real bonus to hear Eddie Butler's excitable voice again! Quality content!

[@ygnir1]

So happy to finally see a compilation include Denis Hickie's tackle against France

[@philsswweightlossdiary2944]

Just goes to show that adjusting the tackle height isn’t quite the death knell some people have been claiming it will be. There are some crunching tackles in the compilation that are technically at waist level.

[@teocarre4026]

tbf they havent actually gotten specific with what below the waist means, as far as i can tell it could be anywhere from hips to below the sternum so we will see what they go with.

[@philsswweightlossdiary2944]

@@teocarre4026 no, that’s why I find it so funny that people are getting so upset about it. Medically, the waist extends up to the bottom of the ribs and the RFU haven’t even trialled it yet so who knows how they’ll finally measure it. It’s bordering on hysterics the way people have reacted, like the game hasn’t changed at all in the last 200 years.

[@teocarre4026]

@@philsswweightlossdiary2944 yeah people need to chill out a bit and wait for it to happen, lower tackles means no more standing tackles which means more offloads and more ball in hand play which is what all these people complain is missing! I do think RFU handled the announcement poorly tho lol

[@darraghtormey1500]

When beauty masquerades as brutality. Fantastic stuff Mr. Forde 👏👏👏. Here's to a belting 6 Nations 2023.

[@Salac0]

There's something special about tap tackles.

[@fearless144]

Could we get a part 2 video to this 💯👊🏉.

[@OrangeNerd1]

stringer was the king of tap tackles!

[@celticcountrypursuit2312]

Jason white was a tank

[@rosscoghlan]

Keith Earl's cover tackles are sublime. Some man

[@mrstamp5121]

Crackin compilation Mr Forde, so good hard to pick a Fav. That’s your fault tho, well done Lad

[@marcodalu5494]

this is the best video of the channel for me

[@Coasterarecool]

That Ireland v scotland tackle is the dream for a full back

[@patrickmackey8633]

Brian O'Driscoll pulled off a great try saving tackle v Scotland in 2009 grand slam year - the only 6 nations match that year when he didn't score a try himself

[@AndrewDavidForde]

I tried to look for it but couldn't find any good footage! Any idea where I could find some footage of it?

[@jackmeehan9669]

James Ryan was on his knees and was at DuPont neck 😂

[@jackmurphy705]

Wilkinson had that dawg in him

[@PandaRonium]

Great video! Where’s halfpenny on Luther Burrell though?!

[@vonteflon]

If you’re talking about the one where he knocked himself out, I’m pleased it’s not included.

[@harrybatho6966]

Dan Lydiate was immense in that game vs France

[@eod1675]

Keith Earls take a bow. He made this cut ,what 3 times?

[@seanmcdonagh6237]

Remembering all of the tweets responding to your request being tackles not in the six nations

[@deansisqoxv20]

Every other tackle - Johnny Wilkinson! He was a busy man

[@alexandersh9408]

in the first clip, i will never understand why the welsh player dived for the try line 5/6 metres out. What was he thinking?! Made it easy for Underhill to tackle him out.

[@lucabayne2874]

Warburton on tuilagi one of the best tackles ever

[@davidmorrin6033]

Stringer was the greatest tap tackler of all time

[@giovannispinotti]

There had to be at least one Favaro tackle!

[@31lafouine]

Well now I can't wait to be next saturday

[@joemozzie725]

Makes a small part of me die every time I see the try-saver on Hogg

[@charlottescott7150]

excellent

[@jackboyd711]

Hate seeing that Courtney Lawes hit on Plisson in a tackle compilation. It’s not a tackle, it didn’t stop the play. It wasn’t an illegal hit either but it was still late.

[@johnmolloy3750]

Remarkable how few of these tackles would have fallen foul of the new laws about head contact. Good tackle technique is not new. All the whinging about the laws "ruining the game" is just that:-whinging.

[@kirstenflower8937]

Exactly- all of these tackles are textbook

[@stuartkcalvin]

great compilation, thanks! How about the Gregan tackle against the ABs -"that tackle" on Jeff Wilson? 1994.

[@AndrewDavidForde]

That wasn't in the Six Nations...

[@stuartkcalvin]

@@AndrewDavidForde no, it wasn't, I was thinking of try saving tackles in general

[@boourns]

What’s your beef with Kevin Maggs? Him getting smashed by Scotland is in there twice 😂

[@dandoesstuff6388]

Haskell getting tackled by the Post protector

[@pdr1365]

Although not always name checked, I think Jason White has 4 in that compilation. Dan Lydiate with 3 consecutive examples. Anyone else close?

[@sykes3880]

Wilkinson has at least 3 there, few people with 2: Stringer, Lawes.... Can't say I count 4 but he's before my time

[@seanharvey8160]

Warburton round the ankles should be known as best tackle of all time... not enough hype

[@isaacflewers8165]

Halfpenny on Luther Burrell i think 2015 six nations

[@jameslenney]

What a great selection here. Shame about some of the camera angles.

[@FMJParis18]

9:48 looks like a high tackle.

[@chantellebarani4708]

Why is Keith earls so much faster without the ball

[@raphlevier698]

Lawes tackle on Plisson shouldn't be there, it was an illegal tackle

[@hanshuman1382]

Best tackles are not waist high but chest high..

[@PK-qx1wn]

howd you make this without any Manu Tuilagi??? ... bruh L

[@AndrewDavidForde]

Which Tuilagi tackle am I missing? I'll add it to a part two :)

[@symeremeyers4148]

That Lawes tackle on the frnch guy is at least a yellow card

[@kevinwillis6707]

nope, checked and found legal, its just what lawes can do

[@symeremeyers4148]

@@kevinwillis6707 it’s late and the player get tipped over the horizontal and this results in them landing on their head and getting knocked out. Clearly red

[@kevinwillis6707]

@@symeremeyers4148 nope, checked by the refs and found legal, thanks for playing..

[@symeremeyers4148]

@@kevinwillis6707 it’s not legal. World rugby are clamping down on malicious tackles that led to brain damage

[@kevinwillis6707]

@@symeremeyers4148 wrong, it was judged perfectly legal by the ref and the TMO, new rules specify tackles shoulder or below, this game was several years ago, and its still below his shoulders, he didnt tip him, its simply the inertia of the hit. ive explained this 3 times now, if you cant retain the information, thats on you.

[@slink66]

0:34 worst tackle ever

[@alexp2327]

Cant believe it was not a red card on Courtney Lawes, he was so late

[@EoinKellyOfficial]

I really hate when the Lawes tackle on Plisson shows up in KZbin comps, I think it’s a late and unnecessarily hard/high shot with the sole intent of hurting Plisson

[@John-ny7jn]

I disagree - it’s debatable whether it’s late but it’s definitely not high. Ofc it’s going to be a hard shot it’s a contact sport, if u have big players that don’t play hard they shouldn’t be playing rugby

[@fionncreedon5470]

Completly fair tackle coming from an Irish fan

[@rhyd1109]

He’s clearly driven his head into the ground it’s completely dangerous tackle

[@richardphilpott1013]

I think most of the reaction comes from how Plisson’s head goes back as Lawes drives into him, but Lawes isn’t doing himself any favours by pushing Plisson facedown into the ground. Certainly a reckless and potentially dangerous tackle. Not so much a high one, but definitely reckless.

[@anthonymanning7590]

It's hard to define "unnecessary"; the oldest tactic in the book is to nail the 10, so the rest of the match he only has 5% of his brain power to manage the game because the other 95% is screaming, in this case, GET RID OF THE BALL BEFORE LAWES TRIES TO MURDER YOU AGAIN! Lawes got away with it so in one sense, it's the perfect tackle.

[@alexpotts6520]

This is what the RFU wants to remove from the game

[@lirmeaney6255]

Who has Scotland winning the 6 nations in 2023 ?

[@kevinwillis6707]

some scottish fans...apart from that its almost certainly ireland or france. they could be a respectable third though.

[@dudeman2k6]

as much as I'd love to see it I cant quite see them beating France and Ireland, hopefully they prove me wrong though.

[@patkeane4300]

Farrell should be made watch this video .he could pick up some real pointers on his tackling for the upcoming 6 nations

[@henkvandebeek7921]

Sir, this is both true and very funny
