I am currently watching a replay of last nights match - and I noticed something that I would like to get everyones opinion on - and if I can beg Eckys indulgence get his thoughts on it to.
There were a couple of times in the first half were the Reds were working on their phase play and had a ruck where the last feet were that of ScrumHalf Will Genia who was connected to the ruck by placing his hand on the back of a prone Reds forward.
I hope that description makes sense
now in this instance - Genia bent down to pick up the ball with both hands. There was some time where Genia was not attached to the back of ruck while he was directing traffic.
Here are the questions.
1. Once Genia removes his hand from the back of his forward - isnt the ball "out" and the Force players could come around and pick up the ball?
2. If the Reds forwards that are a part of the Ruck shoved forward while Genia is not attached - could that be considered a Truck and trailer penalty?
