[2021 Six Nations] France vs Wales (20/03/2021)

I think there is a key difference to the Henderson one. Henderson's was completely accidental, he didn't intend for his hand to be there. He Willemse put his hands around his head and face and made contact with the eye. One player chose to put his hands near the eye, the other didn't.
He was unsighted though

It's definitely a penalty for a neckroll - upgrade it to yellow for the accidental face contact if you must, but a red card for that is a joke


The worst part is that AWJ was on a yellow for killing the ball on the line and now gets away scot free!

Genuine question here, does intent come into it? Like tackles in the air or high shots aren't really
