I think intent is no longer important, tackler has a duty of care, and the velocity he was approaching with and the fact that he wasn’t wrapping his arms, means that in the current climate means it could only be a red card.
Interesting to see what happens to Marler as well, rule book says a min of 12 week ban for contact there, but that I think is more for people aiming to injure, fairly sure he was trying to wind up instead, suspect he will get a shorter ban.
