Tackle Success Rate vs Tackles Made

Rugby Tackle Success Rate

Tackle success rate is one of the most important defensive metrics in rugby, measuring a player's reliability in bringing down ball carriers.

Formula

Tackle Success % = Tackles Made / (Tackles Made + Tackles Missed) x 100

Top-level forwards typically make 10-20 tackles per match with 85-95% success. Backs make fewer tackles but are also expected to maintain high completion rates.

Example Calculation

A flanker makes 15 tackles and misses 2 in a match.

  1. 01Total attempts = 15 + 2 = 17
  2. 02Success rate = 15 / 17 x 100 = 88.2%
  3. 03Missed rate = 2 / 17 x 100 = 11.8%
