A greatly admired English rugby legend. Still playing, although at the later end of an amazing career. He is famed for getting quickly up from the defensive line and hitting the No.10.- as demonstrated. Also a good line-out jumper. I reckon that most of these guys have still got 'bells ringing' in their heads today.
Excellent technique and all his “late “ tackles are just being committed to the hit. Very clean player and great athleticism. Puts fear into the main play maker in the opposite team, which is part of his job
Lawes is a technically correct tackler. His timing is very good. Even if he is slightly late to effect the play he puts doubt in the 10's mind. Next time he sees Lawes in his eye line he will rush the play. It used to be something I had to do as a back row
The tackle at 4:00 actually broke the players ribs. Perfect tackling technique. They don't look like big monstrous hits but they hurt. Lawes is no joke!
Was that a penalty? I don't believe so. A little more rotation and it would be. Lifting isn't illegal. Lifting the hips above the head so that the head/neck hits the ground first is what's bad. There is nothing wrong with hitting hard. His technique is excellent. Nothing 'cheap' about his tackling.
If you lift a player off the ground, the law states you must bring the player back down safely. Not on their head or neck as that is an instant RED card !
Looking at it today, when asked if it 'was' a penalty yes it is. In the year of offence I am sure it would definitely have been a yellow card or certainly should have been.
@@icarus877 Why would it have been a penalty? At no time were the hips above the shoulders. It was close but what made it close was the ball carrier reaching for the ground. Play it in slow motion. The hips are never above the head.
If you want to watch some full games you should try and watch the up-coming British and Irish Lions tour in South Africa. The Lions tour every four years and consist of the best players from Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales.
Hi Really like your reactions coach Rugby Union is the oldest from of rugby but in the early part of the 20th century players demanded compensation if they got injured playing so they could feed their families while off work as the game was for amateurs players didn’t get payed Most were Goal miners from the north of England The players went on strike and soon after Rugby League was born and all players got payed
Lawes is an excellent player with ball in hand as well. Just so that you know where we are in the rugby union season. The club game is all but done for the summer. The Great British and Irish Lions play Japan at Twickenham London on Saturday prior to setting of for a tour of South Africa the current world champs. The other nations have a series of matches including England v USa at Twickenham on 4 July. The club season gets under way in August and there will be autumn internationals. The biggest annual international tournament is generally considered the Six Nations involving Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland (all Ireland not just theRepublic) France and Italy. They play home and away alternate years. For instance Scotland p[ayed England in London this year and host England at Murrayfield, Edinburgh on the First Saturday of February 2022. the first week of that years tournament which ends on the third Saturday of March. These are age old rivalries with great battles but great friendships created among the rival fans who enjoy nothing more that ending the day win or lose with a few pints and a good old sing song in the local club bars or city centre pubs. It is great fun
Brother love the vids. I have played for 13 years and rugby teams are very much a family. And isn't just players it's there families kit men coaches all one big family. You should try find a local ish team and ask them to give you a little training session. See how it feels to handle the ball work a skill drill make a tackle receive a tackle not as bad as they look haha I'd live a video of that
American coach u picked in my opinion a complete second row this man is a Monster I live and support Northampton and seen tackles of this man live you wouldn’t believe shame thy te not in this video
He is a big, athletic lad. Unfortunately for the opposition he reads the game well and has immaculate timing. That is why his tackles are like car crashes. However rugby players are tough and you will see some of them get up and run to the next collision even after meeting Mr Lawes.
If you can, watch the Gallagher Premiership final between Exeter chiefs Vs Harlequins, it was played 26/06/21 the game has to best cup finals game for a very, very long time.
It’s Courtney Lawes mate, not Lays, were you feeling a tad hungry? lol 😂 The British and Irish Lions play Japan in Edinburgh on Saturday 1500 UK time as a warm up to the South African tour
Was it legal? There is a little more latitude in union than league around ‘spear tackles’. In league once a tackled player is lifted beyond the horizontal it’s an automatic penalty. In union it’s more about the landing. So the tackle you enquired about was totally legal. Some of his late shots were borderline illegal- though to be fair, they always look worse in slo no.
I had a friend at school that used to smash guys into the ground with hard tackles for fun it was always amusing to watch and great because he was on my team hahaha
Ask the flyhalves if Lawes in their eye-line affects their ability to play 100%. If he does negatively impact their playmaking ability, he is doing a job that very few 2nd rowers can.
@@Zavala1 love that he has openly admitted that he will hunt down a 10 and hit then hard as he can, such a great psychological tactic, because once Lawes has hit that 10 once or twice they are weary of him, and it seriously does effect there ability to run the game because they are constantly keeping half an eye out for him.
"Borderline late hits". Borderline. That's the key word in that sentence. Top players constantly work on the borderline. Lawes very rarely gets penalised for late tackles, that's what makes him so effective.
Chuckling that 3 of the hits you showed were against owen farrelll playing for saints (v sarries), of course farrell was the England team Captain at the time. There are some great vid compilations of maro itoje playing the same lock position as lawes: compare and contrast. Imo itoje is far more creative and exciting to watch.
Coach, this link is a bit late I know. I sent you the one about Jonah lomu's funeral, so here's a tribute from South Africa's probably most famous captain Francois Pienaar, who led the Springboks to victory against the All Blacks in the 1995 RWC. His role was played by Matt Damon in the movie "Invictus". th-cam.com/video/yTrDOtRtSGU/w-d-xo.html

Nope. Spear tackling is what Umaga (NZ) did to Brian O'Drisoll ( British Lions) when he deliberately spiked him on his head 41 seconds into the first test in 2005, putting him out of the Test series. None of these tackles were penalised and Lawes has played ,and beaten, both Springbok and All Black sides in a long England career.
In my day he be called a late tackler and if he was in a ruck he better look out for any appendages, namely wrists, ankles, heads! Sometimes your feet just get in the way! He’s not a hard tackler he’s a bad tackler. He’s trying to tackle right on the cusp of the ball carrier passing the ball and tackling high. He has all the hallmarks of a bad tackler.
Have a look at school rugby in SA, we have players in almost all rugby playing nation's because there is more money in Europe and Japan. Only the Kiwis have any similar rugby culture to us. It's always the best test ever playing against the All Blacks. Thay are our only opponents that we really respect
Xavier Rush smoked him!! Hahahaha.. And he played for Auckland… And most of hit “Hits” had no affect on the that passing movement.. He’s the guy to lose you a final, times up in front of the posts and he spear tackles or no arm tackles someone..

Is it really late if he hits a 10? As a second row myself I say no 😂
@@WeLhOOse lol former 9 and 10 here agreeing with you, back in the day it was expected. So was being given a proper shoeing in the following ruck

His tackling is technically brilliant, the doctors are always kept busy when he plays.
Lawes tackling is pretty correct in all these clips.

He is committed to all of them, while the oppo player has the ball. All legit tackles. Hits hard for sure ...
Hey as a Coach! You'd love Squidge Rugby's channel.
I had a friend at school that used to smash guys into the ground with hard tackles for fun it was always amusing to watch and great because he was on my team hahaha
I NEED YOU TO CHECK OUT BIG HITS NRL ,
My one problem with lawes is that a lot of his big hits are on fly halfs after they've gotten rid of the ball. Borderline late hits.
He’s committed. I can’t remember him being carded for those tackles.
Ask the flyhalves if Lawes in their eye-line affects their ability to play 100%. If he does negatively impact their playmaking ability, he is doing a job that very few 2nd rowers can.
@@Zavala1 He’s a back row too.

Not many people can hit Bastetaued backwards. 😂
Also the only penalty in this video was the one tackle on lawes. Everything else was legal.
He was in the team that beat our ass twice 😒 All Blacks supporter.
You have all those other wins over my beloved England 🏴 . Don’t feel too bad. NZ have more credit in the bank

Hey coach, are you a rugby coach over in the US?
No sir, I am a triathlon coach and just now starting to learn about Rugby. LOVING IT!
@@CoachTube Welcome to THE greatest sport in the universe!! I caught the bug in 2007 and it changed my life completely!
The only illegal tackle in the vid was the last one. Lawes causes fear in fly Half's making them hurry and make errors or get smashed.

That guy takes cheap shots and spear tackles. Can't wait to see him up against a New Zealand or South African side.

Lol. He's ripped both of them apart too. Nothing cheap or illegal about his tackle technique, he's widely quoted as having a near-perfect technique.
Eben Etsabeth and bakkies bottha enforcers
A lot of this tackles were fouls
