CONTACT WITH PURPOSE. 🏉🔥

Another look inside our Forward Department’s Tackle Tech & Defence Mastery session.

We focused on making tackles with intent—combining strong fundamentals with explosive ex*****on to win the contact, stop momentum and create a positive tackle.

Breaking down chop and top tackle technique, athletes worked on understanding how and when to apply each, alongside defensive alignment across the goal line, centre field and edges.

Every player has a role. Understanding the how and why helps them make better decisions and work together as a defensive unit.

SESSION 2 COMPLETE ✅
FORWARD DEPARTMENT | TACKLE TECH & DEFENCE MASTERY

Building confidence in contact starts with strong fundamentals and a clear understanding of your role.

This session we covered:

▪️ Tackle fundamentals
▪️ Chop tackle technique
▪️ Top tackle technique
▪️ Defensive alignment across the goal line, centre field and edges
▪️ Roles and responsibilities—the how and why behind each decision
▪️ An introduction to running patterning

Knowing how to make a tackle is one part of the job. Understanding where to be, when to commit and how to work with the defenders around you brings it together.

Giving our athletes the knowledge behind the technique so they can take it onto the field with purpose.

A great start to the program, with our athletes putting in the work and building their foundations in scrummaging.

🔥 FORWARD DEPARTMENT — SESSION ONE 🏉

Energy high. Players switched on. Straight into the craft of scrummaging.

Breaking down the setup, sharpening body position and building an understanding of HOW and WHY—not just telling athletes to push harder.

Every rep had a purpose. Every correction was a chance to improve. Setting the foundations for confident, connected forwards who understand their role at scrum time.

Session one set the tone. We’re only getting started.

ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT 🏉

This week’s focus is on patterning, live scenarios, pressure and load.

We’re putting athletes into realistic game situations where they need to recognise patterns, communicate, make decisions and execute under pressure.

From there, we’ll increase the physical load and fatigue to challenge their ability to maintain technique and decision-making when it matters most.

Coaching all day. No time off.

Plenty of work going into building better athletes and continuing to raise the standard. ⚒️

I’m not here for the politics.

I’m here to pass on the knowledge I’ve been lucky enough to learn, help athletes develop, and grow the game in our region. 🏉

That’s what Forge & Field Athlete Development is about.

Giving players access to technical coaching, honest feedback, video analysis, and the little details that can sometimes take years to learn.

I want young players to understand why they’re doing something — not just be told what to do.

If that knowledge helps one athlete become more confident, stay in rugby longer, push for higher honours, or eventually pass that knowledge onto the next generation, then we’re doing something right.

No agendas.
No politics.
No gatekeeping.

Just better athletes, better coaches, stronger clubs and a stronger rugby community.

Pass the knowledge on.
Grow the game. 🐻🏉
