This term also applies in football to performing the exact same move, and I would've edited this entry and the football terminology entry, but I couldn't figure out how. 64.126.190.193 00:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

What type of football are you talking about? The article is largely Aussie-centric so I imagine you're coming from a Gridiron background where the term "spear tackle" is also used. Htra0497 16:40 30 June 2006 (AET)

American Football uses the term 'spear' to refer to anybody using their body as a spear (head out, arms by side), whether it be in attack or defence. This has been added to the article. Crazy Americans!
