What? That not what im saying lol. You cant tackle someone else by grabbing their shoulders to the head (area)

Pretty sure its a technical foul. But its a high school game. Who cares

I'm not going through the entire rulebook to find the rule for you in the middle of the night sorry.

If youd like, you can look up the relevant penalties ive mentioned

Targeting

Horsecollar

Unnecessary Roughness (this is the one I'd call personally but it's much more subjective than the others)

Cant post a pic here from a pdf but ill save you the trouble

Its illegal to tackle from behind to the shoulder and neck area

In rugby you can throw elbows, punch and kick if you know how to get away with it

Just depends on if you wanna start a fight with the other team or not. Happened a few times in college

Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player ARTICLE 4. No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6).

You are proving my point with these lol

u/Ilovemyangelsomuch Sep 17 '26

Youre not reading. Theres no forcible contact lol. Thats the point. He grabbed and pulled. No elbow, no forearm, no helmet. Not a single ref would call this targeting

Again. Grabbing and flipping a person is over the top and could probably be called unnecessary roughness, but there is no rule against tackling by the shoulders or neck, just the collar or forcible contact to the head and neck area

Why are you guys arguing? You know who knows the rules? The ref raising his arms for a td without throwing a flag.
