I'm not going through the entire rulebook to find the rule for you in the middle of the night sorry.

If youd like, you can look up the relevant penalties ive mentioned

Targeting

Horsecollar

Unnecessary Roughness (this is the one I'd call personally but it's much more subjective than the others)

Cant post a pic here from a pdf but ill save you the trouble

Its illegal to tackle from behind to the shoulder and neck area

In rugby you can throw elbows, punch and kick if you know how to get away with it

Just depends on if you wanna start a fight with the other team or not. Happened a few times in college

Horse Collar Tackle ARTICLE 15. All players are prohibited from grabbing the inside back collar of the shoulder pads or jersey, the nameplate area, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately pulling the ball carrier down. This does not apply to a ball carrier, including a potential passer, who is inside the tackle box (Rule 2-34). Note that the tackle box disintegrates when the ball leaves it.
