Defenders often want to stop up and step into an oncoming attacker but all too often they come to a full stop and then jump or explode forward into that player’s head. This is the way to do it properly.

Clean hit, keep your head up
Not sure how clean that is, could easily be called boarding.
100% boarding
Clean hit, player was aware of the incoming hit, by turning he wasn’t defenceless when getting out of the way.
