South Africa’s game plan is heavily defence dominated, but right at the heart of that defence is the way they approach the tackle area.

To do this the Autumn Nations Series matches against Wales and Scotland are drawn upon. Players like Siya Kolisi, Damien De Allende, Lukhanyo Am, Kwagga Smith, and Steven Kitsoff provide a number of excellent examples of how do it! ►Support my content on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GDDCoaching ►SUBSCRIBE for new video notifications: https://www.youtube.com/c/GeraintDaviesGDD ►Twitter https://twitter.com/daviesGDD ►YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GeraintDaviesGDD The video match footage is not in any way owned by myself - credit goes to the Autumn Nations Cup.
