Except in the case of Jon Wilkin, you can see in the playback that he is pushing Wilkin's arm back. Whether that is a chicken wing, I don't know, but something was going on that looked dodgy. Likewise with Soliola. The heat of battle need not include deliberately putting pressure on an arm/shoulder when the tackle has already been completed, which in Wilkin's case, it had. The action was unnecessary.
However, I don't for one minute think the RFL will do anything about it. Possibly a letter home to mummy.
