A high tackle is an illegal tackling move in rugby football. A high tackle occurs when a player tackles or attempts to tackle an opponent whereby their arm makes contact with the ball carrier’s chest.[1][2] The move is dangerous due to the risk of injury to the head and neck of the player being tackled.[3]
