- Current Referee grade:
- Level 8
Blue going forward. Red grabs blue shirt and throws him to the ground. One player from each team bind over the ball (which to us on the sideline meant a ruck was formed). However the (tackled?) blue player on the ground stood up and carried on running. Referee shouted play on as he wasn't held...
This all happened in a very short time, but was the call correct to let him get up with the ball even though a ruck had formed?
I don't believe the law book says that a there needs to be a tackled player on the ground for a ruck to form.
By the way this was an under 14s tournament.
Taa.
