The scrum ends when the ball comes out of the scrum in any direction except the tunnel, but what does "out" actually mean?
My specific circumstances are:The ball is fed into the scrum and successfully hooked back. It ends up at the feet of the blind side flanker, who unbinds, picks up the ball and advances towards the opposition goal line.
In these circumstances is the ball "out" of the scrum and has the scrum ended just as if the No.8 had unbound and done the same thing, or is the BSF offside / playing he ball wit his hands in the scrum??
The good book is not clear.
I allowed play on as I considered the ball to be out........was I right??
Cheers
