Will my tackling be okay?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
I play Rugby four times a week (School twice, with a match and training) and for my club (Midweek and Sunday), I'm the star tackler of both teams, and I haven't played Rugby in weeks, I tackle every player, regardless of their height, speed or ability, and they'll shoot down to the floor, but without tackling for weeks, I think it'll falter when I get back to the training on Wednesday, will I be okay?I play Rugby four times a week (School twice, with a match and training) and for my club (Midweek and Sunday), I'm the star tackler of both teams, and I haven't played Rugby in weeks, I tackle every player, regardless of their height, speed or ability, and they'll shoot down to the floor, but without tackling for weeks, I think it'll falter when I get back to the training on Wednesday, will I be okay?

You'll be alright mate - don't worry about it. I would stay behind in training if I was you and work on a few bits just to make sure everything is in order, but as I say, you will be fine. If you are prepared to work hard, and push yourself through that pain barrier defensively then you will be fine. You say your technique is pretty good so I wouldn't worry to much if I was you. Good luck mate.

You will be fine. You do not lose your appetite for playing hard in a couple of weeks. You obviously understand the first rule of tackling which is that he who hesitates gets hurt! Go get them!!
