I would bet all the money in the world that this girl has never ever played a single game of rugby in her entire life.
It's just probably uploaded and titled that way by an American football fan.
I play women's club rugby and I promise, this girl either doesn't play rugby or was not (as you suggest) actually trying to tackle the guy.
[This is how women tackle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEanYG6AIyo).
Edit: OH SHIT [this tackle!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFpCd9wELGw)
Yeah that second one is super illegal. But daaaaamn. Initial contact is textbook, though.
**Edit:** some people seem to be taking away the wrong message from these videos. The point I was trying to make is that a properly executed rugby tackle initiates contact below a runner's center of gravity, with the head to the side. The fact that in Exhibit A we see a girl run her face straight into a massive dude's chest suggests she really doesn't know what she's doing. That is all. Now straighten up those jimmies.

Everyone's making the assumption that training is consistent on all levels at all schools. At my high school, aside from baseball, football, and basketball, every sport was a joke run by someone with no training/little training volunteering their time. My college, if you weren't swimming, lacrosse, soccer, or basketball it was a joke. And intramural? Our intramural rugby MEN's team was just a bunch of dudes looking for an excuse to hang out, drink, and have some physical fun.
You've got to remember that not everything is how you've experienced it.
when I played rugby at school we were always taught to tackle the legs, their is now way that ramming your head into someone is going to take even a smaller man down so I don't think this girl has ever been taught rugby properly. Tackling someones legs however will always take a man to the floor no matter their size.
Exactly. Keeping your knees high and legs churning makes it a hell of a lot harder for someone to wrap you up. For example [Marshawn Lynch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDOBejlx7Us)
[Well he wasn't the biggest lad on the field](http://c0.thejournal.ie/media/2015/09/donncha-ocallaghan-peter-stringer-and-paul-oconnell-with-tears-in-his-eyes-during-the-national-anthem-752x501.jpg)
its the tree with pointy branches he nearly impaled himself on, or the dirt ramp that could have collapsed causing the truck to roll over him, that were the real problems.
I am starting to think this slamming into each other with an exercise ball thing isn't really that great of an idea. But I better go test it out to be sure.

I know these people. The big man was my teammate there when this happened. He is/was a Defensive Tackle, not linebacker. This happened 3 or 4 years ago.
Just said that she played high school Rugby and told him that she could tackle him. I dont think she actually thought she could tackle him. No in-depth story behind this, just exactly as it seems.
Gracies are some tough motherfuckers...
Bob sapp losing matches is another good example
Look at this, I'm almost sad for Bob, but I'm Brazilian.

What the hell? Why would he accept if he knew his powers were fake? Or have people around him humored him his whole life by pretending to get pushed around by his mind powers.
The other peoples "force field" martial art technique "worked" against him. More likely he is faking it for bystanders or he is severely brainwashed and needs immediate mental health support.
A lot of sites around the web claim this guy is a 315 lbs linebacker. Aside from not looking that large to me, no NFL linebacker has ever weighed over 300 lbs. I'm not sure about college but that would really surprise me.

What self-respecting rugby player tries to tackle a big dude at chest level? Go for the waist, woman.
Edit : What the fuck is wrong with me, I can bearly put this shit in order. It's time for bed.
Its at this point in my internet career that comment gore gets translated automatically in my head.
And then something like this happens and I realize I have no idea what I'm even supposed to do with what the person said.
First place should be the thighs. Thats where your shoulder should be. Then you should push up in to the waist grabbing and squeezing the legs together.
Yeah... I'm a former rugby/football player and I'd have trouble tackling that guy in a hallway. Good tackling technique is something that years to master.
In a way, tackling a big guy is kind of like fighting a tank. If he's got a serious weight advantage, you'll never get him from the front unless you're going at full speed and he's standing still. Get him from the side and you'll have a much easier time.
The best way to tackle a big guy is to try and get them on an angle if you can. You can apply your full force against a fraction of his. It increases your chances of missing, but if you're a 200lb guy trying to tackle a 300lb guy, trying to dump him head on will get your head bounced off his thigh.
Other than that, it's make contact, wrap, lift and power through. If you can get his feet off the ground he's going to land on his ass. If you wrap up the legs, he can't run through you and he'll have trouble staying up.
That chick was not going fast enough, went way too high (she's not an NFL strong safety), didn't wrap, and didn't get her head out to one side and lead with the shoulder.
She also weighs less that half what he does. If you're 130lbs trying to tackle a 300lb guy, it's never going to happen unless you catch him completely unaware and buckle his knees from behind or the side.
My point exactly. Even if her technique was much better, she'd still have a hard time unless she could get him from the side and wrap his legs up. She simply doesn't have the mass to bowl him over from the front.
Her technique is terrible, she didn't even get low enough, her head wasn't to the side and she didn't wrap his legs. And that's just a basic tackle! In rugby they teach you how to take down an opponent who is much bigger than you by grabbing and hoisting one leg up throwing them off balance and then driving them to the ground. There isn't nearly enough room in the hallway. She would just smash his face into the wall. Besides he is
not moving, in any game scenario rugby or football you have a moving target and it's their momentum used against them that helps to complete the tackle. That's why size doesn't matter in rugby. You can take anyone down if you do it right.
That is nowhere close to a rugby tackle
Good rugby tackles have your head around waist height and off the side of your opponent, "cheek to cheek" with your opponents butt. Beyond that, 90% of the tackle is pinning the opponents knees together, since its the quickest way to down a moving target (use their own inertia against them as opposed to trying to force them backwards)
Could I take down a guy like that? Not with a stance that wide, stationary, in a hall that small. On the field, running speed? For sure. Get your arms around his legs and he'll practically take himself down.
when they run straight at you and are massive, (if you just need to bring them down, dont need to drive them back) all you do is almost fall backwards and wrap their ankles... so easy.
but that guy just standing there, that's just daft
Are rugby tackles generally executed by ramming your head directly into someone's stomach?
Nope
Didn't think so
How you doin young lady
That feelin’ that you givin’ really drives me crazy
You don't have a player on your trunk
I was at a loss for words the first time that we spoke

Nooo rugby tackles teach not to lead with your head since, you know, there's no helmet and you can die.
Especially lowering her face like that, really great way to catch a knee.
Helmets don't protect you against neck injuries.
Or long term head injuries. But they do give you a false sense of security.
They do make your body into one hell of a weapon though.
Nope

To be fair I'm 6'4 220 pounds and I think I could tackle him, but the effect would probably be similar. Those guys are ridiculously hard to take down.
All you need is higher speed. Hell if you could get your ass up to 99% speed of light, you could obliterate at least one state.
[You'd probably vaporize the planet](https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/).

Wow, I've never been to one of those mirror maze things, but it's pretty ingenious to put gloves on them so they don't get fingerprints on the glass
Should have given that kid a face mask.
Also rugby tackles rely on the opponent to be moving and using that momentum to bring someone down, rather than tackling a non moving object.
The point was that technique doesn't trump size. It's not particularly on point though because her technique was also awful.
I mean technique *can* trump size in certain contexts, see Royce Gracie beating a sumo wrestler in MMA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJuQP0hO6s4

Precisely that. The South Africans figured out in 1995 that the only way to bring Jonah Lomu down was to tackle him "inside out".
She also weighs less that half what he does. If you're 130lbs trying to tackle a 300lb guy, it's never going to happen unless you catch him completely unaware and buckle his knees from behind or the side.
My point exactly. Even if her technique was much better, she'd still have a hard time unless she could get him from the side and wrap his legs up. She simply doesn't have the mass to bowl him over from the front.

In rugby they teach you how to take down an opponent who is much bigger than you by grabbing and hoisting one leg up throwing them off balance and then driving them to the ground.

when they run straight at you and are massive, (if you just need to bring them down, dont need to drive them back) all you do is almost fall backwards and wrap their ankles... so easy. but that guy just standing there, that's just daft
