This amended the tackling rule that it’s not enough to just get the ball first and then take the man .. they have to tackle responsibly.

Sadly the officials have gone back to the seventies and anything goes

The difference is intent. Tackles are part of the game. Sometimes tackle are harder than others. There was no malice in the challenge. Unlike awfully rough and vicious teams like Spurs and Newcastle who want to break legs and shorten the careers of their opponents.

There doesn’t have to be malice or intent nowadays … they are not allowed to get the ball then carry on through the guy .

Ben White did one of those earlier on in the game
