I found myself in a minority of one recently so I'd appreciate some clarification or guidance: Under English U12 regs, can the ball carrier go to ground once a maul has been called without being accused of collapsing the maul, if he releases the ball immediately.
I can see this on the World Rugby site. https://laws.worldrugby.org/?law=16&language=EN but I'd appreciate some clarification.

- A maul ends unsuccessfully when:
- The ball becomes unplayable.
- The maul collapses (not as a result of foul play).
- The maul does not move towards a goal line for longer than five seconds and the ball does not emerge.
- The ball-carrier goes to ground and the ball is not immediately available.
