Just reffed on Saturday a game where the scrum was a bit one sided.
At one point, the defending side had been pushed back about 2 metres when I saw their Loose Head pop his head up.
I penalised him for losing his bind but in the bar after, he complained and quoted chapter and verse from the law book saying that anyone popping out of the scrum should result in a reset.
I said I considered it deliberate ploy to prevent losing his own scrum and hence the penalty.
Was I wrong ?
