Usual qualifier, nit a big rugby guy, but that's wild that a red was discussed there for me. 

Had the Welsh lad not took a knee, the tackle would have been just above the waist?

It's partly because the protocol for contact like that is to start at red and mitigate down, rather than start at penalty and decide how bad from there

Protocol is nonsense though.  I've seen worse tackles not penalised because although there was intent the contact wasn't made.
