A weekend off the whistle so I watched an NL1 game at the weekend up north. Scrum to white just outside the 22. Early engagement by green - FK to white. They chose the scrum being pretty dominant. White get a shove on and drive it a few metres with ball at the base. White SH ships it out to their fly half while Green SH attemps to go for the ball but doesn't get a hand near. White FH drop kicks the ball between the uprights and over the crossbar. Drop goal awarded.
Am I right in thinking this should not have been allowed - as per the definition in Law 9 A 1 - or have I missed something? I appreciate it is very arcane law so I'm not entirely sure. One of those once-every-few-years scenarios...
