Jacques Burger's tackling masterclass on Rugby Tonight

BY Grant Constable  ·  Wednesday Jan 29, 2014

Namibian flanker Jacques Burger is one of the Aviva Premiership’s top tacklers. He was one of the more physical Saracens players against the Sharks at the weekend, where he made a few big hits. He’s managed to combine his physical attributes with solid technique, as well as a fearless mindset.

In November he set a new record for tackles in a Premiership match, 36, breaking the previous milestone of 27 set by former England and Leicester Tigers flanker Lewis Moody.

In this amusing and informative masterclass video from Rugby Tonight he shows us how he does it.
