    With the recent sending off of a player in a high profile Rugby World Cup play-off match, the Dangerous Tip Tackle has become a focus of much of the rugby public, and the seemingly heretofore unknown "Spear Tackle Memorandum" has received its greatest public airing since it was first promulgated by the IRB in June 2009.

    If you look through ALL of these better known examples of sanctioned tip tackles, in every case, you can clearly identify each of what I call the five "tells" of a tip-tackle.

    The tackler
    ► Comes to a stop
    ► Grasps the ball carrier below the hips
    ► Lifts him straight upwards ...

    The iRB have been stamping down on Tip tackles and Spear Tackles since 2007 and have ...
