Amongst many issues with the ruck currently, clearly the growth of the caterpillar is one area that could be reviewed and managed differntly.
Should a ball being fed back in the caterpillar be considered out of the ruck and in the open?
At times we see 3 or even 4 players extending the "ruck" clearly there is no real bind and the ball is manipulated into a to position even handled with impunity. If we wish to see a closer game with fairer competition for the ball then this practice should be refereed differently. Thoughts?
