Yeah, I agree he definitely cut across one guy, and then comes in towards Haussler, but then Haussler clearly shuvs his shoulder in as hard as he can to try to stop Cav getting the line. Cav was definitely in the wrong for trying to cut across to the middle, but Haussler was the one that brought them all down.

When someone comes swooping sideways at you, at great speed, the safest reaction is to lean heavily into them, otherwise you ping madly in the opposite direction, and most likely go down like a sack of spuds.

For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction - Cavendish pushed, Haussler shoved back.
