Rugby's Illegal Tackles:



rugby women''s

The tackler will make contact with a player's waist and then swing his or her weight behind him/her to drop the player to the ground. This technique can inflict serious injuries on the ankles and legs of the player. It's also known as high tackle.

Avoid illegal tackles

It is crucial to avoid illegal tackles in rugby. In some cases, penalties or yellow cards may be issued for illegal tackles. There are several ways you can avoid being penalised while on the field.

High tackles

High tackle is one of the most illegal moves in rugby football. High tackles can cause serious neck and head injuries.

Head/ neck contact

A rugby referee must take action when he sees a player's arm make high contact with a player's head or neck. Head/neck Contact is a serious offence and could result in a yellow or a green card depending upon the severity of the tackle. Players must be aware that head/neck contact can occur and take all possible precautions to avoid it.

Leg drive

A type of rugby tackle that involves a player driving his leg through contact to the ball carrier is called leg drive tackles. If done correctly, this type tackle improves the quality and turnover rate of a team. To practice leg drive tackles, players should work on the technique. They can form groups of three to practice this technique. In the first, the player accelerates while making a low dynamic tackle. The ball carrier is driven down three metres or so. The player must then stand up and carry on the exercise.


Body position during a tackle

Rugby is all about the tackler's body position. Ideally, the tackler should be near the ball carrier’s inside shoulder and on the side of his body. The tackler should move slowly and get closer to the ball carrier. He should keep his arms close to his body and his eyes on the ball carrier.

Lift tackles

The NRL has acted to tighten its laws governing lifting tackles, which can result in dangerous positions for the opposition. A player cannot lift an opponent higher than the horizontal level. They also must not drop their opponent so their head or upper body touches the ground. To avoid injury, the player must quickly pull themselves out.

Straight-arm tackles

Straight-arm tackles in rugby are performed with the straight arm and a back-to-front contact. It's difficult to knock back or dodge a high impact tackle making it valuable in rugby. This technique is often used by forwards in chasing down a runner.

Spear tackles

Spear tackles, a form of illegal tackle, are used in rugby union, rugby league and Australian rules football. The tackle involves throwing the opponent into the air and dropping them onto their neck, head, or back.

Legal issues

Legal tackles in rugby are those that leave the ball carrier in possession. A tackle happens when a player grabs a ball and brings it down to the ground. The tackler should release the ball immediately after the tackle. This will give all other players an opportunity to try for the ball.

What should kids do if they want to take part in extreme sports.

The answer will depend on whether you're talking about sport as a whole or an individual sport. If they are talking about all sports, they should consider them. But, if you're talking about specific sports (i.e. skiing), it will depend on what type of skiing they are interested in. Some people like extreme sports, such as bungee-jumping, while others prefer the more gentle downhill skiing. It all depends on the level of risk involved. For example, someone who enjoys bungee jumping might not enjoy skydiving because of a fear of heights.

What makes a sport extreme

Sports have been around for thousands of years. They have evolved from being only athletic competitions to fully-fledged entertainments. Some sports are so beloved that they are now part of our culture.

Because of the high level of competition, some sports can be considered extreme. Professional basketball players compete against each other nearly every day for hours. Other sports are considered extreme because they require special equipment. Snowboarding, for instance, is riding down hills on boards that have two wheels attached to their bottoms.

Other sports can be deemed extreme due to the fact that their rules are different. For example, soccer is played differently than American football.

Some sports are extreme because they require their athletes to do feats such as gymnastics. Gymnastics is one example of extreme sports. The athletes must balance on various objects to avoid falling.
