Quick one this...
Player drops ball as he crosses the line and it rolls forward, but not TIG, or over the DBL.
No-one does anything - they all look at it.
If defenders make it dead, it's a 22 DO.
If defenders pick it up and try and play on, then advantage to them...?
If attacker realises and tries to jump on it after he's dropped it, then knock-on and scrum 5 to defenders?
Nobody does anything though - so then it's a knock on, and scrum 5 with defenders put-in...?
Happened the other day. Everyone stopped and looked at the ball, then me. They all thought "oh, that's it, he's dropped it, it's a restart ..." And I gave a 22DO. But I guess I could've shouted 'still in play..?' And waited for someone to do something with it?
