To me it looked the same in the second tackle, like Sarah's reflex is to jump into the tackler to free her arms, but it leaves her vulnerable to tipping, and nobody says anything about contacting the tackler high.
To me they can't let this happen, if they reward that technique they'll set a precedent that increases risk as players will milk the penalty, it is very similar to ducking the head and disturbingly there was an incident in which that was rewarded in the game as well.
There was one where Stahle got a free kick after she headbutted Mua Laloifi. There was another where the Tigers player "slipped" as she was trying to avoid a Breann Moody tackle and Breann's arm made contact with her neck. Mua certainly felt the effect of the headbutt and, if anything, she should have been awarded the free. The Moody free should have been play on.
Rewarding players for disregarding their own safety is not the answer.
