- Synaesthesia 11y agoYou can't tackle someone around the neck in rugby or too high, it's a foul called a "high tackle"
- untog 11y agoFouls happen. I don't mean to diminish that, but when the base of the game is to disallow bad tackles then there will be far fewer incidents of bad tackling.
- jamessb 11y agoIt is tackles above the shoulder (not waist) that are forbidden (along with striking an opponent with a stiff-arm whilst tackling, tripping, picking up and dropping a player etc.). Law 10.4 specifies what is considered 'dangerous play': http://laws.worldrugby.org/?law=10.4 http://laws.worldrugby.org/?law=10.4
