Lineout not 5m

Oxford used the short line out option in the Women's match -I believe the ball did just go 5m

As long as it went 5m that's fine. "Just" 5m is good enough.

For me, the key issue for the sanction is who stopped the ball going 5m.

I agree Pinky, but I reckon the only people we need to concentrate on is the thrower and the 2 players at the front of the LO.

This has always been an anomaly, and an ambiguity in the Law .
It a shame that the 2018 Law Book made worse by forgetting to give any sanction for blocking the throw .

Is this in the spreadsheet?

I think it is .
Its not so much a change as an omission

It's not just the front two - also the jumper in the front pod reaching over and catching/trying to catch ahead of the oppos. FK for prevention, options for inability.
