That sounds very logical. I asked the question the way I did because the knock on was within 5m of try line.

Thank you.

Thank you. Scrum if it is in field of play regardless of where it ends up?

Sorry, just re-read and realised I wasn’t clear. My question was from the field of play though the in goal. I’d be interested in the answer of it was in goal too though!

Meaning my assumption is right?

Not sure why they would opt for the scrum incidentally but assume they could.

Please can someone help confirm my assumption? Under the new/experimental laws: The ball is knocked on by the attacking side and goes through the in goal and over the dead ball line or into touch in goal without being touched. I assume the defence gets the option of a 5m scrum and they put in...

That’s really helpful. Explained really clearly. Thank you v much.
