Must have been brought up as a Bomber. Go the Dons!

When you grow up playing rugby or aussie rules you learn how to tackle properly with your arms, not just to run into people head first

"tackle him again, his soul is still dancing!"

Rugby League tackle

Holding the ball

He definitely had prior opportunity. And ran 50m without a single bounce

sweetandsourdoom.bsky.social•100 days ago

NRL style.

phelpsyau.bsky.social•100 days ago

Aussie Rules player though

Go Dawgs!

When I saw that live I said, "I think that's the best tackle by a punter I've ever seen."

Now I know. Aussie.

I started watching Aussie football in ‘81 when it was all that was on ESPN. I thought that those tight little shorts really made them angry and super aggressive.

He must have played rugby back in Australia 😆

mar2vickers.bsky.social•101 days ago

Aussie rules, apparently. Looks like he just invented the new special teams position of punter-safety.

He’s ready to counter ruck 😂

Training for rugby will do that to you.

A ton of these Aussie punters got their practice in rugby and Aussie football, which has different tackling and dead ball rules. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often at a collegiate level.

There’s no disgrace in being tackled by an Aussie punter. We get bred for this. No Fear. Well done everyone. Play hard, play fair.

Punter said, son of a gun tried to get up after I tackled him. The nerve of him.😂

Awesome tackle

metaldust.bsky.social•101 days ago

I bleed black and yellow and shit sherrins.

In rugby, if the player isn't held, he can get up and run. Good thing he didn't try "the crusher" to keep the player down!

jdm24.bsky.social•101 days ago

Actually in Rugby FB 🏉, when they tackle they hold them down as well.

mar2vickers.bsky.social•101 days ago

For funs and giggles, US football fans really should have a gander at all the other common football codes.

If you like chaos, hard to look past Aussie Rules (AFL) and Gaelic football (GAA) - no offside rule, man o man, fast and furious.

If you like hits, rugby league (NRL) and rugby union

nena-shop.bsky.social•100 days ago

Love it 💕💕

carsonbeck.bsky.social•100 days ago

Just do that for my defense now

fiatslug85.bsky.social•100 days ago

Ever watch rugby? The ballcarrier can get up and run again if you and your teammates don't keep him down, forcing him to release the ball.

The punter's rugby instincts are strong.

Aussie Rules not Rugby
