Well it is up to the ref anyway to blow for a high tackle ,but players need protecting from foul play & a high tackle is foul play unless it is a player slipping & falling into what looks like a high tackle as the OP suggested. A rugby player gets enough knocks as it is during a game without deliberate targeting of the head & neck.
