In the GB vs RSA semi-final in 7s at the Olympics, the ball came out the side of a ruck and was then kicked away sideways. At this point an RSA player fell onto the ball to collect it and rolled forward twice before starting to get on his feet before passing it.
According to the laws the player can do one of three things; get up, release or pass. In my mind the player was canny to avoid anyone getting on the ball by rolling, then in the act of getting up passed as he saw a support player coming by.
It wasn't pinged, and I probably would have (for not passing immediately).
Thoughts?
