Dump tackle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Tackle.
The dump tackle is a tackling technique favoured mainly by rugby union players. The tackler wraps his arms around the ball carrier's thighs and lifts him a short distance in the air before forcibly driving him to the ground. The tackler must go to ground with the ball carrier for the tackle to be legal. This technique is useful for grounding an opponent standing directly in front of you.
