The yellow was very harsh so just a caution about right.
How was it in any way harsh? Head contact like that is pretty much a guaranteed yellow these days. He didn't miss. Agree with no ban however as it clearly wasn't intentional, just an instinctive reaction to being stepped.
Tom Lineham is very lucky I think. You can tell from his face and his back lift and the clenched fist that he meant to punch him, he just missed the face because of how fast they were both moving. He's also lucky Grace didn't milk it at all. Had that been Tomkins there would have been air ambulances and all kinds and he'd have received a longer ban.
