A Spear Tackle is an offense. The tackle can and has caused serious injury. Spear tackle occur whereby a player lifts another player into the air and dumps them down head first in to the ground. The damage can be substantial with necks being broken, shoulders dislocated and broken and serious head injury as the head in in effect driven in to the neck. The tackle has been made unlawful in many of the rugby like sports including league and American Football. If a player making the tackle is has any doubt whether it will result in a spear tackle they are required to "place the tackled player down in a manner that avoids the spear effect". Those that do not can serve a substantial ban from the game.
If you are wondering if it is safe to tackle your friend into your computer desk rugby style, then no it is not safe because your desk will damage over time.
No. Touch is touch rugby league is tackle google the rules :)
Tag rugby is a sport that is often played in schools. The rules are the same as normal rugby but you tag people rather than tackle.
Usually foam but sometimes fiberglass.
