head contact protocol

[Dickie E]

I've seen several head contacts in the current Autumn Internationals that have been deemed foul play but have been sanctioned as "penalty only". I thought foul play head contact was at least a YC (ie start at red and mitigate one level only). Am I missing something?

This document suggests the entry can be PK / YC / RC and that mitigation down one level is acceptable https://resources.world.rugby/world...f-18e02e7f7e24/Head_Contact_Process_EN_v1.pdf
