I'm 50/50.

Not the best footage, but I think caution is fine, he's very low and doesn't appear to be off the ground

I wondered how much force would be needed to make the fouled player spin in the air?

That very much depends on how much he accelerates the contact.

Camera angle and quality isn't great.

But I am going red card, i'm saying he is off the ground, studs up and out of control (chasing a loss of control), and the force has caused the opposition player to land on their head. For me it's worse than the Gilmour challenge a few weeks okay.

But RustyRef is far more experienced than me

I think it’s very hard to tell from that angle. If that was all an observer had to go on I think it would be one of them win-win situations where he has to back the ref regardless.

I think the Ref reacts with aplomb in terms of process and decision. Big Cat awards 10/10

Are you red or yellow though?

Given they said process and 'decision' I'm gonna say they agree with the caution.

Yellow, otherwise I wouldn't have awarded 10/10
The Process makes the decision (which would otherwise be subjective) right

Definite "he's never going to straight red card 6 minutes into the match" vibes to this, and I think he's right. It's very borderline and I think 90 minutes into a feisty match a ref might be tempted by the red, but yellow is fine as well.
