This morning in New Zealand v Japan, the Kiwis just scored in a manner that I've seen countless times over the years - there was a ruck close to goal line, a player who was in the ruck quickly picked up the ball and dives over line to score, try awarded without hesitation - I felt the player picking the ball up was clearly part of the ruck, so why is he not penalised for using his hands in the ruck?
Am I misinterpreting it or is this just a case of TV refereeing. If I encountered that is it something I should manage/penalise?
