Best Answer

If you are referring to the "high tackle" which used to be called a stiff arm tackle - then no. If you are caught using this practice its a 10 minute sin bin or if its the second yellow offence - your red carded. In Rugby you can also be cited after a match by a citing official - this can also bring a ban
