Yeah man that was the main training we had to do whenever a football player joined up. Rugby tackling is complete different for two reasons: 1 you aren't wearing any protection and more importantly 2 in Rugby you want to control the man with the ball so it can be stripped out of his hands. If you put him on the ground then he must release the ball and it's on. If you've ever been at the bottom of a ruck you know what I mean.
