Clermont tackles compilation video

first post! class video!!!anstey

Nice videos, but they should also do a video with alls the tackles missed by James!

Great, this is the kind of video that should be on this site, not crap like the "intense rugby compilation" which focused on foul play.

Clermont, Munster and Toulouse are the best teams in Europe.

good defence but if the attack stands a bit deeper and manages to get a wide pass out to the backs then the defence is in trouble.

Clermont play good rugby and they deserve a "crap" tackle video like this. Rugby is both attacking and defense ya know...

Ha! Take that, ByronThose weren't tackles, they were mauls that went down!

whats this junk ? Clermont ?? Some of the hits were ok..... i supposeha ha ha

Love this videoAll teams should have one and post it to RD !!!

What a job done by both Julien Bonnaire (usually n6, wearing a white srumcap) ans Aurlien Rougerie...

Whilst dump tackles look good and make for flashy compilations these kind of tackles are much more effective as can be seen by the number of turnovers evinced by Clermont in the video. I would much rather have a team that makes these kind of hits than blokes who spear tackle.Excellent video rugbydump, I for one could watch more of these 'educational' style videos.

grrreat video!it just prove that u can tackle fair and HARD!spear tacklers should have a look...

PISH POSH... CRAP...

some pretty solid action there :)

straight out of the Crusaders book of defence! Pack mentality.Vern Cotter is doing a great job with these lads - good to see.

bit boring...

Someone should do a similar version of the Allblacks. I think the ABs defense in 1 game alone could take up a 40min.

there should be more big tackles coming from Clermont soon as hard hitter Scotland internationalist Jason White is joining them.

Amazing to see majority of those tackles being made by second rows. I know in this day and age locks are far more mobile and make tackles rather than trucking it up but was class to see.Cheers RD

Anyone who said this video was boring or crap are obviously fairies who dont play rugby and dont appreciate the game as a wholeIf they do play rugby and found this boring they are obviously chicken shits who arent prepared to put their bodies on the line and therefore let every one else in the team do the tackling!Which, in my opinion, is unforgivableGreat Video!anyone know the song?

great blitz defence!

Imagine next year, White and Bonnaire in the back rows, a pure hard tackling back rows ! With Vermeulen at number 8 !

i would love to see at the end of the season the winners of the super 14 take on the heineken cup champions that would be ace. like a world club tournament.

Something I've noticed about NH supporters is their strange attitude to fighting and tough tackling, like it's terrible when a player gets smashed. I blame the nefarious influence of soccer for their soft, girlish views. 'dump tackles' (a term I've never heard before, but I know what the person is refering to) are awesome, any kind of crunching hit is awesome. Spear tackles are completely different, it's when a player goes beyond the horizontal and they are then in danger of serious spinal or neck damage. Obviously that can't be tolerated, but equally it will continue to happen occaisonaly. Anyone who's played knows that far from being a cynical attempt to seriously injure a player, spear tackles almost always happen by accident. It's quite easy to tip a player too far once he's lost his feet and can't stop the momentum of a hit. Bad, but 90% of the time it's an accident, just like head high tackles.The pontificating from NH supporters makes the bile rise up in my throat."we don't want to see foul play, fights, big hits or anyone get their finger nails broken"Give me a break! Go watch table tennis or something.

NH-hating Anonymous above - put a name on your post, especially if you're going to slag off a huge amount of people before you engage your brain.

Last anonymous, you're a twat. What we don't like in NH is dirty play that brings nothing to the game and gives a bad example to the kids. Nobody ever complained about a solid tackle as long as it is legal.Calling us girlish is a proof that you have never watched a Top 14 or H Cup game. Fights are just stupid though, and being in France at the moment with all those massive fights in Top 14 and Pro D2, I can tell you the NH guys also know how to do it.

Brilliant to see a video of excellent, clean tackling. I second Kewne's comment.

Ok Will66, my name is Jon. I just can't be arsed joining up to the site.What difference does it make if you know my name though?I still think you NH types are soft.Now that I've stirred you up again, please proced to come back with some kind of indignant reply.

Thats a pretty solid collection and it should get better with white on the way. It was great to see Munster, espeically O'Gara under a bit of pressure.

To "agressive anonymous":As an "anonymous brother" I encourage you to show a little more respect to the people that invented this sport you seem to be so proud of.cheers bro.

whats this song homofags?

Gawd, where I come from, insults are a sign of respect. Sorry everyone, didn't realise I would hurt some feelings.

i'm from northern hemisphere and big hits is all i effing live for (hence why we all watch rugby dump you moronic fool)!!!!! Bring every hit onto RD going!! I seem to remember SH complain bout scrums particulalry aussies: THATS SOFT!!!! Love to smash a few boys and don't mind the odd shoulder charge here and there either ha. My name is Alex 'anonymous'

That's all I want to hear Alex. Big hits are awesome, fights are fun, shoulder charges should be legal and there's nothing more satisfying on a rugby pitch then smashing the crap out of an opposition player.None of this sanitised, 'rugby is about the skills', 'let's not break a nail' bullcrap.Bring back the biff!And the name's Jon, it's not like I'm hiding behind the anonymous thing, I just can't be arsed signing up.
