At the time the commentators called it a great ball and all try-saving tackle but on closer inspection Reece Hodge was one lucky man to stay on the field.
The moment happened after a well worked lineout from Fiji with flanker Paceli Yato storming towards the try line. Hodge stopped him in his tracks and the impact forced Yato from the field for a head injury assessment.
As some have pointed out on Twitter, the tackle could be considered a breach of the World Rugby rules with contact to the head and potentially no arms involved.
The intent of Hodge doesn’t matter in these cases and the fact that Yato needed to leave the field might indicate that it was a dangerous tackle.
