- Current Referee grade:
- Level 15 - 11
Blue defending , Blue have put-in at 5m scrum, blue win the ball and the scrum half fumbles backwards with the pass into the in goal which is picked up by blue defender who is caught by a white player in the in goal but blue is immediately helped and a sort of maul immediately begins moving(I know a maul cannot form inside the in-goal) and collapses back into the field of play over the goal line. The referee calls ball is not coming out and awards scrum to the team last moving forward. 1) A maul could not have formed as it was in the in-goal 2) so blue cannot be told "use it or lose it" (no Maul).
I cannot find anything in the law book for this situation. help.
