Standard of officiating has been excellent but a couple of situations has got me checking my law book with out success.
1. A Wales player sees the ball bounce off another Welsh player towards touch. To stop it going into touch, she dives on the ground, places her hand on the ball 1 metre from the touchline. Before she releases the ball, her feet touch the ground beyond the touchline. AR flagged for touch but poses the question as she was not carrying the ball could it be play on ?
2. A Wales player clears from outside 22m and ball caught in wind. Aussie girl standing in touch tries to catch the ball but knocks on. Referee gave a scrum with no argument. If it is a scrum is it 5 or 15 metres from the touchline ? Or is the ball direct into touch and line out back ?
