If that happen here the guy with the bottle would have been taken to court by the robber for assault and the shop for theft of a bottle of wine!

Not at all, reasonable force is allowed.

There was a case some years ago a shop lifter took a man to court for damaging his jacket when rugby tacked to the floor and he won!

Too many thick as to short plank judges in this country.

Is a rugby tackle reasonable force against a shoplifter?
Rugby tackles can be very dangerous, that's why rugby has lots of rules governing them.

Plus of course a shoplifter isn't an armed robber so you are stretching it a hell of a lot.

Well there you go, don't believe everything you read "as reported" by the media.
So any actual details on specifically why the judge said it wasn't reasonable force in that instance?

If you want anther one go for that welsh bloke who rugby tackled one thief, reasonable force, and beat the crap out of the other thief with a fence post breaking both his legs and an arm, also reasonable force.
