Taking an opportunity to get back to discussing application of rugby Laws:
Just seen highlights of Force v Waratahs from the weekend:

Two main decisions rather puzzled me - were they necessary?
1. 4:30 (Youtube time): Obstruction by White player in front, but he didn't appear to move to cause it.
2. 5:01: White 9 deemed offside; was he not put onside by 12?
The decision at the end of the match looked a bit uncertain, but accepted by all. In fact a 'reverse' (if you see what I mean) knock-on causing the confusion?
On the other hand, the two early scrum penalties seemed spot on.
Thoughts?
