It does seem reasonable to conclude though that if the team of officals had thought that the ball was touched in flight they would have awarded a 5m scrum on the premise that if the touch was irrelevant then there would be no point in discussing it at all?
what if the touch had been inadvertent? For example, defender had back to kicker and ball deflects from him over DBL. Restart?
