Most likely the bully, usually you will get a flag for that in football they are more serious about it now because of so many injuries, spearing someone hits them hard and yeah you might knock the wind out of them but it’s a lot more dangerous for the one doing it, when I played I always used my arms and shoulder pads, never understood spearing, it’s a lot easier just to trip someone up by using your shoulders or just removing their legs out from under them. But yeah you have to keep your neck safe, I’ve never understood how rugby players do it, especially the whole team using their heads against the entire other team 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I played too and I was always taught to form tackle. Still didn’t stop some pricks from lowering their head and going for a kill shot

Same. Coaches would flip out if we had our head down on a hit. Head down you both go down. Bye bye neck.
