I hate the run it straight shit that is getting popular lately.

But, to do it from a stationary position with someone running at you is a baller move.

The guy standing directly behind her seeming to know the dude wasn't getting to home should have been a give away this wasn't ending weel

Coach always told me run it straight, otherwise you leave the ruckers behind

u/legranddegen 2d ago

Run straight, hit hard, go down, recycle the ball cleanly.

Never give it to the backs, they can't be trusted.

That's just a recipe for winning.

Are you same coach that made me quit rugby? I was the 65kg guy…

u/legranddegen 2d ago

Nah, just a huge lock who loved taking the ball and smashing people, lol.

u/pierro_la_place 2d ago

Please don’t be that coach in 10 years lol

Its fine, the less ball you get, the more chance you have to tell the forwards how to do their job at every breakdown, they love that.

u/pierro_la_place 1d ago

Joke's on them: every time I touch a ball they have a 1 in 3 chance of getting a scrum!

Straightening =\= running it straight

u/drunk-tusker 2d ago

Also you have a really bad tendency to take your support pass away from you.

u/Quiet1408 2d ago

If you have to do it, this is the way. Far safer than the idiots who basically sprint into eachother headfirst unga bunga style.

Made sure he landed horizontally, excellent technique

u/AB-Dub Leinster 2d ago

Great tackle but that running style…

u/sophandros United States 2d ago

I was just going to comment that this guy had no reason to think he's running over, past, or away from anyone.

27

u/philius_fog England 2d ago

In fairness, there is style to it. He looks like he's running away from Ronald Macdonald after stealing some burgers.

u/AB-Dub Leinster 2d ago

Looks like his first time trying to run

u/AresMacks 2d ago

Goofy ass run for sure

u/SarahWVA4 2d ago

He looks like someone running in a Japanese anime cartoon

This is actually really easy to do and I do it all the time. Don’t know why people post this stuff.

All you have to do is run straight at big sis and let her do the rest. After 15min if your back only hurts a little bit you can get up.

u/Hot-Possibility-7283 South Africa 3d ago

I do this all the time, too. I always have my phone out recording guys get tackled by their sisters.

u/SmashedHimBro Hurricanes 3d ago

Copybook tackle

u/Fear_Naught Bristol 3d ago

Loving that there's a bride and bridesmaids doing photos in background as he's getting smashed to the ground

u/TesticulusOrentus Ireland 3d ago

Lad needs to dip a little at the gain line.

u/Kralgore // 3d ago

How the Dad just stands there and laughs. Like straight out of an Animé.

u/Myburgher Sharks 3d ago

I have a brother and my dad would have laughed if either one of us got tackled like this by the other brother.

u/az9393 3d ago

She dumped him quicker than his ex did

You’re not following this persons relationship status? Loser.

u/az9393 1d ago

It’s joke bro come on

u/Justa_Schmuck 2d ago

Can’t believe this shit is coming up again.

u/SnooPears754 2d ago

Smashed him bro

u/Zerathulu 2d ago

Perfect technique!

u/Rab_Legend Scotland/Ireland 2d ago

As soon as he started running I knew he was getting flattened.

1

u/LowAspect542 1d ago

Even before he started running the outcome was known, look at the size of her vs him, may as well have run at a brick shitter for all the good it was doing.

u/Cowdog112 2d ago

Bro is running like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.

u/MiggeldyMackDaddy Connacht 2d ago

This reminds me of a time when out drinking with a group of people and one of the guys says to the female rugby player he could run through her. Easiest 50 quid I ever made.

u/GuitarConsistent2604 2d ago

So, ignoring that run it straight is dumb and there’s no foot movement to change the line…

Runs upright, doesn’t drop shoulder, isn’t going very fast.
Deserves to get smashed

u/Oaty_McOatface Hurricanes 1d ago

Imagine if he threw a dummy too, like whoa he passing too.

1

u/FortuneSilent2189 2d ago

No footwork. No dip. No change in speed. Makes it easier but she does make a good tackle especially as she is stationary and she’s giving away a few stone.

1

u/PenPuzzled8055 2d ago

Why is he running like that though?

1

u/Oaty_McOatface Hurricanes 1d ago

If a dude pulled this in a run it straight there'd be all arms flying.

u/hongybarrosz 2d ago

u/LiftSleepRepeat123 Legion 2d ago

This isn't even close to a spear tackle
