she took the collar from quite a distance from the initial irimi yeah? The result is a very unbalanced uke. Talk about crooked spine! From there, no need to tenkan, just raise the hand and cut forward and BAM! check mat!

I gotta say, she got her own style. Just like Tissier shihan. Now, I wonder whether we have her doing this in fast motion (not instructional). Because I kinda think it's hard to catch the neck/head in that initial distance. You need a long hand to catch that and snug 'em to the shoulder.
I'm not sure if I catch your exact meaning, but I think I do. I would invite you to experiment with moving your whole body in close to Uke. This will give you that range and take you out of the effective range of Uke's attack.

Ichi Go, Ichi Ei!
