[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1033211, member: 56232"] Oh yeah it definitely happens, point I'm saying is no player will consciously choose to put their head in that sort of position to try to take advantage of another player being a bit high. Most ducking is an instinctive action to protect yourself too (generally as part of ducking the player will also angle themselves to try to get their arm/shoulder between the tackling player). I've never seen a player intentionally put their head in harms way outside of American football, those people are complete nutters and that comes with the perceived protection of the helmet. Apparently a fair few American football players have knocked themselves out trying to do the head charge in rugby. [/QUOTE]
