I suspect that being boshed and run over by a player to whom you concede 20Kg as a no-hoper is not so very different to being boshed and run over by a player to whom you concede 20Kg as an international.

Hopefully the international or even a regular player win no SN status would be better able to deal with it. Even if that just mean better evaision techniques. To suggest (even in jest) that the Lomu / Catt situation is similar to the one being discussed is "odd" to say the least.

If this was a front row situation and the coach had said he's new to the position but is trained we would have to take the coaches word for it and then immediately go uncontested if we thought the situation was creating a safety issue for him and others. No difference in other areas player safety is no. 1 priority

Exactly it is not uncommon for a ref to overrule a coach with regared to STE FR or Head injuries. Whether or not we like it IS (one of) our duty to be the back-stop on the pitch.
