Scrum half in the pocket

[Simon Thomas]

In my playing and reffing experience any smart #8 (or one told to do so by his own #9 - something I did if my oppo tried for the pocket) will readjust ball position to the back of the second row feet and anyone in the pocket is offside.
Also the defensive 9 and flanker/8 flashpoint risk level goes through the roof as you step over the flanker legs and contact against the #8, and then if the get a trundle on you are back peddling against flanker and second row - wonderful chances for a 9 to wind them up, or become a target himself (as I know all too well as I did fall for the provocation sometimes)

I've also seen a #8 adjust his bind to bind form between the 2 2nd rows to between flanker and 2nd row - binding in the #9. That was funny to watch.
