Are u watching the game? Atkinson already had him round the legs, Umaga was bending, obviously not enough but the player almost appeared to hurle himself forward, I don't think u can throw a statement like tackle lower in this one, Umaga probably needed to avoid contact, it's just how it happened timing wise etc.
I feel in slow mo it looks worse, the attacker changes direction so can't be set to go in lower.
Yeah slow Mo tends to do that, I mean it was one of those that could go either way, I'm not overly upset that it was the most harsh sanction, my point was simply tackle lower IMHO isn't really applicable in the context of this one, just avoid it or as AH said use the other shoulder then the head contact probably wouldn't happen just one of those unfortunate timing things you pay the price for, very similar circumstances without resulting in head contact leading to red cards probably happen multiple times in a game it's easy to over analyse the rare occasions that happens.
You take a shoulder full force to the point of your chin and get back to us!
Nah, but it was a harsh red so if the ref is feeling harsh this should be one too
