This is new in 2018 , isn't it ?
[LAWS]6.9 The referee will deem the ball to be dead when:
[...]
F) The ball hits anything above the playing area.[/LAWS]
This means that if the ball hits the spider cam ref must blow whistle and restart with a scrum
I think that's new in the Law (?) , Previously we have discussed treating it like ball hitting referee .. if it's an inconsequential touch and no one gets an advantage then play on. Only stop if one team gets an advantage.
