If the players on the ground had moved away from the ball as they were meant to, surely the ball would have been out of any ruck and back in open play?
Came up recently in Chris R's Las Vegas 7's thread and a counter ruck by the US vs SA where the rucking players had cleared themselves and the ref pinged the US player then coming in at the side to play the ball. That thorny issue of when is the ruck over! I don't think Chris R ever got the satisfaction he was hoping for on that one.
"It's over when I say it is. Even if I don't say it!"
