1. Good ball presentation by the tackled player.

2. The first player into the ruck going over the ball.

3. Taking short, dynamic steps before the ruck, allowing the player to stay on their feet.

4. Aiming at a target in the ruck, so keeping the eyes open.

5. Getting the hips and the shoulders lower than any opposition player.
