I've played rugby throughout my school days. I didn't continue for about 12 years but returned to the game for a local club 5 years ago and have loved playing ever since. I'm very slim and not that bulky but I do like to put tackles in and am usually good enough in defence. I play outside centre. I'm always sore after picking up knocks in most games which I put down to my small build but never had any serious injuries. Yesterday though I broke my collarbone in 3 places, a big prop ran towards me like a bull coming down the hill in pamplona, he was quick for a big lad, I went low and his knee smashed straight through me. My bone was sticking up out my chest.
Has anyone got any advice how to improve my tackling technique in that situation as I want to keep myself safe while still giving 100% to defend our line.
