Hardly tackled him? Managed to knock a bloke about 4 stone heavier than him to the ground. Sin binning was harsh but in that situation he potentially stopped a try from being scored. Say a split second later he isn't able to grip him as well and he has caught the ball - he potentially goes over for a try. That's why it was a professional foul. If it would have happened on the halfway line of coruse it wouldn't have been a sin bin.
