In the Eng v Scot game yesterday, a FK was awarded when Marler threw into a lineout and the ball did not travel 5m.
Law 18.23.b states:
Did the ref get it wrong?
(Also, Scotland got away with a throw in not traveling 5 at the 24 minute mark, but they were pushed into touch, so no real consequence.)
Law 18.23.b states:
THROWING INTO A LINEOUT
23. The ball must:
A. Be thrown in straight along the mark of touch; and
B. Reach the five-metre line before it hits the ground or is played.
Sanction: Option of lineout or scrum. If the lineout is chosen and the ball is again not thrown straight, a scrum is awarded to the team that originally threw in the ball.
