Supposing you mean that you were tackled powerfully, I can see no reason to think this is not normal, or that it would be any sort of problem. Al rugby players get tackled if they are in possession of the ball, and the physics of tackling is such that sometimes this appears to be (or actually is) a matter of power. In the US, there is a common expression: "The bigger they come, the harder they fall" (originally form boxing, I think). The issue is to pick yourself up and get back into the flow of the game.

Of course its normal. It's just that these tackles seem to stand out more. Best I have seen on a big man was George Gregan's tackle on Graham Loe.
Every one gets put on their ass occasionally, just get up, dust yourself down and look forward to next weekend, may I suggest you watch what Scott Gibbs did to Os du Randt when the British Lions toured South Africa in 1997, it happens to the best.
Its normal mate so don't think your pride has been hurt by it. A couple of years ago I recall in a super rugby match Rebels centre Stirling Mortlock poleaxing Blues strongman Tony Woodcock in a tackle who needed medical attention afterwards.
Every player gets smashed at some point. Heck I thought I was invincible, until Michael butson bumped me onto my ass in under 14's rugby union. this is Michael butson now -- Here I am 5 years later standing 173cm tall and being 80kg...able to sting a few 120kg + props if they come my way. its funny how that works really...quite often little players can take down big players. Lance hohaia is about my size...and he put a nice hit on a big rugby league prop Petro civinoceva.
konw it is not normal
