Looking at the ruck at 4:05 (video time) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmdKqbe3m20
Is anyone awarding that try?
Surely the player that picks up the ball is part of the ruck? (he's not last feet/man). Although the other 2 behind him are not technically bound - I'd judge they have still joined the ruck.
For me that's hands in the ruck.
(add to that the player that picks up the ball has to shove his own plyer in front of him aside to get the ball down - so also obstruction).
What am I missing that this try could have been awarded?
