I mean, compare that to what Finn Russell did and it's night and day. Even what the much maligned TJ Ioane did last week. Doesn't even get a yellow!

i thought the Russell one was harsh too. But he did end up putting his elbow on the guy's throat landed on him as he hit the deck. Finn was also committing a penalty before the contact by fending like thaat so there was no mitigation.

Could have been a yellow but at that point there was no difference between card colours.

Well, there was. There was about 4 weeks difference...

The way they are reffing the "deliberate knock on" at the moment is nonsense. At full speed, he is making the tackle, and it hits him.

Moot point, given it didn't actually go forward anyway, but similar to the one Grigg got a yellow for last week, when his arm was actually moving towards his own try line, yet it hit him and was a knock on
