In the following Blue support blow White off the ball leaving no player over the ball.

Has the ruck ended or still in effect as the ball is in front of the 'hind foot'?
But, wait, that 'hind foot' belongs to the tackled player on the ground. Isn't he required to "move away from the ball or get up"? (tackle law) Or "Players on the ground must attempt to move away from the ball . . . . ". (Ruck law)
So, should we pretend that the player on the ground isn't there and call the ruck ended or should we acknowledge that he is there and PK him for non-compliance with law?
Nah, we'll just play on.
