Firstly I am just starting out on my refereeing journey so please excuse lots of stupid questions!
I understand that a tackled defender moving back ftom the field of play using their momentum can immediately touch down in-goal and get a 22 drop out, whereas if the defender carries the ball in to in-goal and touches down it is a 5m scrum to the attacking side.
My question is provoked by something I saw in a junior game at the weekend a defender received a pass from a team mate and was quickly wrapped up by an attacking player around the waist and forced back about 3m into in-goal, remaining on his feet. The defender the touched down. My immediate though was carried in - 5m scrum, however a 22 was awarded. What does the panel think?
