Leicester v Saracens
Leicester kick ahead in open play, ref calls touched, and makes the touched in flight gesture (sort of like clapping his hands together above his head).
Saracens player inside his 22 catches the ball and calls for the mark, ref give it.
Law says to call a mark the ball must be caught direct from a kick, surely if it's touched it not caught directly from the kick?
Just trying to work out if the ref got this wrong or I am doing it wrong, because I wouldn't have allowed the mark.
