Saturday, White playing with a strong breeze. White kick goes up, rolls into dead ball area. Yellow full-back makes the *attempt* to put his foot over the dead ball line and touch the ball to enforce scrum back. However, yellow 15 cocks it up by allowing the ball to stop moving. I award 22 drop out - he either 1) touched it down inside the dead ball area, or 2) had his foot over the dead ball line when touching a non-moving ball.... bit of both as he made such a mess of it.
Not entirely sure this was right, or whether 1) or 2) makes a difference to the final decision, given that White played the ball into the 22. No complaint from either side with the decision.
Thanks all!
