The 2017 Laws has this
[LAWS]22.3(b) When an attacking player who has possession of the ball grounds the ball in in-goal and simultaneously contacts the touch-in-goal line or the dead-ball-line (or anywhere beyond), a 22m drop-out is awarded to the defending team.[/LAWS]
Which in 2018 remains the same
[LAWS]21.4 When an attacking player holding the ball grounds the ball in in-goal and simultaneously makes contact with the touch-in-goal line or the dead-ball line (or anywhere beyond either), a 22-metre drop-out is awarded to the defending team[/LAWS]
which is an error, surely - as it should be either a 5m scrum OR a dropout, depending upon who put the ball into the in goal.
How would you ref that if the ball was put in by the defending team? I 5m scrum?
