Anyone see the incident for which Dean Mumm was YC?
IMO, he is damned lucky he wasn't RC. The low speed dynamic that the referees were taking about is irrelevant, since tip tackles almost always happen when the victim is stopped anyway and then up-ended.
Mumm lifted the player at the breakdown, tipped him over and drove him into the ground, and his head contacted the ground first, bending his neck. Lift + Tip + Drive = Red card.
I expect he will be cited.
