So, here's one from Saturday.
Attackers kick into in-goal. Defender picks up the ball (no attempt to ground) and gets swarmed and the ball gets held up.
I awarded a 5 metre attacking scrum because:
22.10 Ball held up in-goal
When a player carrying the ball is held up in the in-goal so that the player cannot ground the ball, the ball is dead. A 5-metre scrum is formed. This would apply if play similar to a maul takes place in in-goal. The attacking team throws in the ball.

makes no mention of attacking vs defending player held up.
Society meeting said I was wrong, should have been a 22 drop out.
Where do others fall on this?
