surely yellow didn't take it in goal? He had a foot in goal when he caught the charge down. so blue put it in goal, 22 d/o

Hardly. Yellow caught it in goal and them took it out of in goal before being driven back. He had the chance to ground the ball first time around. His problem not mine Scrum 5 attacking ball!

I'm talking about the OP scenario as posted thus:

1: Yellow wins a defensive lineout on their own 5meter line.
2: Pass goes back to yellow teammate who's in FOP and he attempts a kick.
3: It's charged down by blue then caught by another yellow player with one foot in goal the other in FOP (so far brought into goal by blue).
Quickly a maul (or not a maul since its kind of in goal) forms.
4: Yellow and drive forward into FOP
5: then are driven back back in goal by blue.
6: Ball carrier goes to ground and touch ball down in goal.
So is it a 5 meter scrum or drop out 22?

Point 3 Sees the in goal catch then Point 4 sees yellow take the ball OUT of in goal and point 5 sees it return. since YELLOW brought the ball into the FOP in point 4, point 3 becomes irrelevant. Since Yellow is inpossession when driven back into in goal. It's YELLOW who are deamed to have placed it there.

Whatever!
