About Nick Vujnovich
Expertise
I can answer most questions in detail but I am best used for "Forward" positions especially the "tight 5" and the scrum. I am a front row guy myself. I have good knowledge of game strategy and tactics. I cannot give detailed help with kicking myself but I can suggest general training applications and point you towards good resources. I am a New Zealander living in Southern California, USA. With regard to fitness or weight training: please understand that you are best going to a gym and getting first hand consultation from a qualified trainer. The risk of injury is too great for me to simply give you a program without being able to analyze your fitness or capabilities in person. I really suggest going through my previously answered questions as well. The most common repeat questions refer to tackling.

Experience
I have played rugby from the age of 5 (I am 33 now) I have played "Premier" rugby in New Zealand, London, California, Colorado. I have coached youth, Mens and Womens rugby.

Rugby - Hurting people


Expert: Nick Vujnovich - 5/11/2009

Question
I am from england And I was wondering  where is the best place to tackle
someone to hurt them is it for example a dump tackle or a spear?

Answer
Hi Nathanael. While there are no "bad questions" there are inappropriate ones.

I am going to assume you want to to know so you know which way to tackle safest.

Dumping or spear tackling a player is both dangerous and against the laws of the game not to mention against the spirit of the game.

Read my previous answers on tackling for my instructions on how to tackle properly.

The aim in rugby is to have fun and build character weather you win or loose. It is not an aim to hurt people.
