Cripps falls in tandem but because Swallow is slightly lower he takes the hit harder.
That vision of Swallow after the tackle wasn't great, but Cripps has done nothing wrong. Neither of Swallow's arms were pinned, and Cripps' left hand and left knee are on the grass, giving some protection to both he and Swallow.
Be very harsh if gets rubbed out / fined for that.
