Talk:Spear tackle

Untitled
This term also applies in football to performing the exact same move, and I would've edited this entry and the football terminology entry, but I couldn't figure out how. 64.126.190.193 00:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * What type of football are you talking about? The article is largely Aussie-centric so I imagine you're coming from a Gridiron background where the term "spear tackle" is also used. Htra0497 16:40 30 June 2006 (AET)
 * American Football uses the term 'spear' to refer to anybody using their body as a spear (head out, arms by side), whether it be in attack or defence. This has been added to the article. Crazy Americans!
 * The type of tackling described for gridiron football is a completely different concept, so I'm going to split it into a separate article. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 19:25, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Article and reference no longer match (RugbyRefs.com)
While fixing the URL of the RugbyRefs.com reference (http://www.rugbyrefs.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tip_Tackles, ref #1 on the article) I noticed that the Wikipedia article and reference article no longer match. The reference now has a more detailed definition of a tip/spear tackle. Someone better versed in both Rugby and Wikipedia writing than I might want to update the opening section with the new info.
