In a pick & go situation on goal line with ball carrier crouched & driving, it would be harsh to ping defender for some high contact.

I hope I never give a PT with a "FFS. I'm done with this shit, and you had enough warnings" mindset

It looked to me like the ref just wanted to get out of there. Penalties hadn't done it as the attacking team declined shots at goal, so without an attacking knock on, the game would still be going now. Couldn't see it in detail but a head contact PT in a pick & go situation with bodies...

Asics. Always Asics

all OK as long as the thrower hasn't balked in any way. If he started with ball overhead I might have a problem.

If it was 1% then you'd see 99 phases of play in a row which never happens. I reckon its more like 10% which is what the PTB want. If it was any more than that the ball carrying team would be disinclined to take the ball into contact and we go back to aerial ping pong

Its difficult to comment without seeing it. So Saracens have possession at back of ruck. Ref calls "use it". Bath counter-ruck but unsuccessfully and Saracens still maintain possession. How much did the counter-ruck disrupt the Saracens SH? If at all, then I'd restart the "use it" once it had...

I don't get too fussed about HT length. Once the teams start to look like they're ready to go, whistle. But my games aren't in driving snow 😀

Clever play by Blue 12. Spot on decision by ref

And what would you do if the lucky team decided to take the scrum option? 😀

So don't have a lineout in favour of a PK into touch & then have a lineout? And the penalty decision ... penalise who & based on what criteria?

there is another (my preferred) option. Once the cards are dished out and its all settled down ... restart with the lineout to Blue. That way you're not sending a message that one team is more or less culpable in the whole mess. They're all equally at fault, the miscreants have been dealt with...

I'd consider "wrestling to ground" as FP and ping that. Depending on the severity of Red 3's actions I'll be looking to ping him as 3rd man is. But consider a melee. Blue player punches Red player, Red player retaliates with a punch, a couple of "3rd men" from both teams join in with some...

"The non-offending team commits an infringement before they have gained an advantage. The referee stops the game and applies the sanction for the first infringement. If either or both infringements are for foul play, the referee applies the appropriate sanction(s) for the offence(s)" The above...

it's similar to an obstruction penalty. Who is the infringer, the obstructor or the ball carrier who uses the obstructor?

15.12?

How long is "straight away"? Same as "without delay"?

I'd have no problem with your scenario as long as the player on ground makes a prompt & genuine effort to exit the ruck east/west
