Tackling technique for a forward in rugby is to tackle chest to chest, leading with the point of the shoulder. I've played American football too, when I lived in Boston, and it doesn't hurt as bad, because of the padding. I've had concussions, broken bones and alot of stitches playing rugby. It's no better than American football. I don’t know where you played rugby, but I grew up playing it, and we tackle to hurt people.
