Even the best players sometimes get it wrong. Take the player OFF when you recognise the signs: unprotected fall to ground, stumbling / falling when trying to get up. NO game is worth a players’ brain. If in doubt, sit the player out 🧠#BokSmart SportsCap The Players' Fund

Technique, technique! Using correct shoulder + head placement MUST be a major training focus. Recognise the signs, remove the player: unprotected fall, loss of consciousness, tonic posturing (abnormal contractions)🤔#BokSmart fb.watch/u2Tdst5hie/ SportsCap The Players' Fund

Who says big guys can’t get low! Ntuthuko Mchunu looks good on ‘Papier’ & in tackling. You can get low & be physical. Other than pride, no-one was badly hurt. Good #TackleTechnique is key to not getting injured 💥 #ForeverGreenForeverGold #BokSmart SportsCap The Players' Fund

You cannot run without legs. Mid-thigh tackles in the #SafeZone + good #TackleTechnique & head placement, can bring even the biggest players down to earth. Find out more on MyBokSmart: my.boksmart.com 🦵 #ForeverGreenForeverGold #BokSmart SportsCap The Players' Fund

To stay longer in the game; keep your head out of it. Good tackle technique & getting the head & neck in the right positions in contact is critical to a long-term rugby career & brain health 🙂‍ #ForeverGreenForeverGold #BokSmart SportsCap The Players' Fund

NO risk, NO reward? Rugby is just a game! Leading head down into contact is high-risk for catastrophic head, neck, & spine injuries in tacklers & ball carriers. Shoulders above hips, head up, face up, eyes open👀 #ForeverGreenForeverGold #BokSmart SportsCap The Players' Fund

How NOT to CLEAN! youtu.be/mqRY_xvGmGk Seeing RED? Rugby is physical enough. Players have a responsibility to play WITHIN the Laws. Go slower, get lower, wrap, drive the player back. NO leading shoulders. Leave the head & neck alone😡 #BokSmart SportsCap The Players' Fund

Please remember the lowered legal tackle-height laws are in play! Tackling lower, does NOT mean tackling softer. I think these ball carriers might disagree with you if you said so. #ForeverGreenForeverGold #BokSmart SportsCap The Players' Fund

Why the Tackle-Height Law Changes? We want to keep heads away from each other in the tackle-contest 🤯. Less head contact, less danger⚡️. Get down with it and lower the risk 👇. Go to My.BokSmart.Com to find out more. The Players' Fund SportsCap

This is great. If we can instil good tackle techniques in young players at the level of Varsity Cup etc, they'll be far better prepared to play safe, smart rugby when they get to senior level. And we've seen how that pays off for the Boks.
