L7 game black win lineout just outside the opponents 22, form up around the ball in anticipation of trundiling it upfield with a maul, blue refuse to engage. No maul formed, referee awards accidental offside by Black - Blue scrum.
I guess he could have played the truck and trailer card, but to my way of thinking this was clearly a contrived offence by blue, who, by refusing to play (engage the maul) secured a scrum and thus the advantage.
Had I been whistling I'd have awarded FK Black for a contrived offence by Blue, but can find no justification for my thinking in Law.
Thoughts please?
