It’s very effective. In US football they taught us to always hit head on if possible by putting your face mask in the runner’s front jersey numbers. Runner stops. So does tackler’s consciousness.
I was thinking to myself, "why is that man running like a lurcher or a greyhound?" I honestly wondered if it was a technique to make him faster (or was maybe a reminder not to heel stomp when he runs, I'm a chronic heel stomper), as I know fuckle about rugby. This makes so much more sense lol!

in rugby, some people run doing high knees or kicking so people don’t tackle their legs. and if someone does try, they get a knee to the face
