Not sure if those are legal tackles but the number of head high hits, coathangers etc is pretty astounding.
That would see you sent off in Australia with a multiple match ban and other punishment.
Probably about half of them would be illegal under current rules I think. Horse-collars, leading with your head and helmet to helmet contact have been outlawed, but generally all you'll get during the game is a 15 yard penalty, and maybe a $x thousand dollar fine a few days after the game.
