Get the ball carrier to ground • Land on top , opposition side and roll away on their side • When clear of the contact: Stand up, get in the way! • If no one else involved get on your feet and on the ball Tacklers Process steps • Make the tackle • Get on your feet (regain) • Win the "race to the space” the golden meter between the breakdown and the meter beyond) • Target the head and shoulders ( that's where the ball will be) • Beat supporting players," low man wins”
