After watching this in a game I wondered what other refs' opinions were on this scenario.
Black kick the ball.
Blue catcher knocks on and the ball goes to ground. The blue player immediately falls on the ball and gathers it. He doesn't try to get up with the ball basically because a black player following up tries to take the ball off the blue player.
Would you award a scrum for the knock-on or a penalty for not releasing?
