Tackle and Jackal Transition

Setup

A 5m line on soft grass, one ball, an optional contact pad. Two players, three is better.

How to run it

1. The tackler makes a low chop tackle and both go to ground, then shows a clear, unmistakable release with both hands visibly off the carrier and the ball - if a referee cannot see the release as a separate action you get penalised even if you technically did it, so exaggerate it in training.
2. Fire your hips to your feet and come back through the gate from the direction of your own try line, never scrambling forward over the carrier.
3. Set over the ball with wide braced feet, hips low, chest over it and spine flat, grip the ball itself with both hands and short locked arms, then rip back towards your own goal line and play it immediately by standing up and stepping away.
4. Walk it through 6 reps each, jog 8 each, then 3 rounds of 6 competitive reps.
