There have been no less than five tackles similar to the Warburton hit on Clerc in this current World Cup and none of them resulted in anything more than a penalty. Outside of the French coach, a plurality of commentators involved with the game did not think the tackle warranted a red card.
Wales are out of the WC, but for all intents and purposes I'd be surprised if Alain Rolland works another top-level match at this or any other major tournament.
