    Lineout 5m from goal line

    Red get a penalty 10m out from Blue's try line. Red 10 kicks the ball out in the full between the 5m line and the try line, setting up the attacking lineout. Where is the mark of touch for the lineout? I've always set them with the middle of the lineout on the 5 and the defending team half a...

    Collapsing maul, YC but no PT?

    Gloucester v Exeter last night. Exeter form a maul and keep it driving towards the line. 5m out and Tuisue collapses the maul. Ref Adam Leal YC Tuisue and awards Exeter a penalty.

    [Line out] Hooker standing inside field of play when throwing in

    I'm sure it's been asked a thousand times but I can't find any reference in the new law book. What's the sanction (if any) for a hooker standing inside the field of play when throwing. My thoughts are firstly to tell him to stand correctly and try again, next time to award a free kick on the...

    [Law] Ball in flight, not crossed plane of touch

    Sarries game on the weekend: Liam Williams runs from outside the field of play, catches a ball which may or may not have reached the plane of touch and then lands back in the field of play. Would it have mattered whether the ball had crossed the plane of touch? Is it this amendment trial...

    [Law] Penalty quick tap doesn't touch the foot

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUmJFsn4D1I Still Highlanders's penalty as he did not tap the ball with his foot? Any other thoughts? Nothing in the law about pretending to take a penalty kick.
