So the answer to the Original Post , the Wasps incident , which was an injury , the answer is
2017 : the team going forward (Wasps I think , but arguable)
2018 : the team last in possession (clearly Bath)

What did the ref give ?

By the time the ref had blown play had developed and one team (Bath IIRC) was in possession when he blew.

Ah no , I correct myself

It was the same in 2017 , but in an odd place
[LAWS]
6.A.9 THE REFEREE AND INJURY
If the referee stops play because a player has been injured, and there has been no
infringement and the ball has not been made dead, play restarts with a scrum. The team
last in possession throws in the ball. If neither team was in possession, the attacking team
throws in the ball[/LAWS].

So team in possession

Thanks ! So , given that "having a ball kicked at your head" does not constitute "in possession" then, in my example, the scrum goes to the team who just kicked it from hand.
I can go with that.

Just contrasts with the scrum after an unplayable ruck : This goes to the team moving forward ( or attacking team if none going forward ).
