Hi All,
I had ref'ed a 10's tournament over the weekend. Saturday only actually... Great fun even with 10 games for the day. Anyway, I have two of my decisions I'd like comments on if you'd care.
First one - Gold vs. Blue
Penalty against Blue for infringement in a ruck on the 50m line
Gold SH plays the quick tap
Blue 20, about 2 metres from the mark, puts his arm out and attempts a high tackle on Gold SH. Contact between Blue's arm and Gold neck/head area but Gold SH escapes the tackle.
I play advantage
Play continues with a couple of passes and Gold score between the post.
I award the try, let Gold take the conversion call Blue 20 and issue YC
Would you have done so? Any issue with that?
Second one - Blue vs. Black
Open play, Black winger kicks ahead from the 50m line and chases down inside Blue 22 where he gathers the ball
Blue defender grabs Black ball carrier and brings him to ground without going to ground himself
Blue defender barely releases Black's jersey to put his hands on the ball.
By then, 2 more Blue defenders have arrived and no Black is in sight.
Black ball carrier (on the ground) fails to release the ball
PK again Black
I'm asking because my AR after the game told me that maybe it could have gone the other way around (I.E not releasing the tackled player, PK against Blue)
Thoughts about this?
Thank you all!
Cheers,
Pierre.
