yes he got hurt in this tackle but..... if you start pulling out of tackles or changing how you attack the ball then you leave yourself open to getting hurt more

just unfortunate that he got hurt this time and i think it is a shame as he was doing and looking ok??

i think the point is he wasn't tackling properly - he took a swing at it with his instep as if he was punting a free ball as hard as he could

thats always more likely to get you injured compared to a "block" tackle
