Editing Tackle (football move) (section)

===Rugby union===
In [[rugby union]], a player must be brought to ground for a [[rugby union gameplay#Tackle|tackle]] to be completed. The tackled player must release the ball, but the ball is not dead and a ''[[rugby union gameplay#Ruck|ruck]]'' forms to contest possession of it. If the ball carrier is not brought to the ground a ''[[rugby union gameplay#Maul|maul]]'' will usually form. High/reckless or stiff arm tackles laws once dictated any contact made above the shoulders was an offence. Now, even if contact starts below the shoulders, if the head is involved in any reckless tackle it results in the offending player being given a yellow card and therefore sin binned. World Rugby now defines a reckless tackle as being any contact where the tackler "knew or should have known that there was a risk of making contact with the head of an opponent, but did so anyway"<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/38322884 |title=High tackles: World Rugby changes rules over head contact |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=14 December 2016 }}</ref>
