Apologies if this has been covered before. I searched and couldn't find a thread on it.
Blue are attacking against white. A blue player is carrying the ball and is tackled 2m from the white goal line. As he is tackled, blue knocks on and the ball goes into in-goal. White touch down the ball.
Do you apply advantage on the knock-on and give white the 22-m drop out? Or do you give white a 5-m scrum?
Law 12.1(c) says: Knock-on or throw forward into the in-goal. If an attacking player knocks-on or throws-forward in the field of play and the ball goes into the opponents’ in-goal and it is made dead there, a scrum is awarded where the knock-on or throw forward happened.
But, this situation is not mentioned in Law 8 as a situation where advantage is not applied.
I gave the 22-m drop out, but it seems I may have been twisting laws too much...
