Referees in England
Might have been done before but after going through laws I'm unsure.
Overheard a conversation with a ref and a coach last week.
Assume standard line out (not quick) 5 players each, two throwers and two receivers all in correct positions with none of the recent shennanigans involved on Showbiz rugby.
Coach says after ball is thrown our receiver moves into line (towards back) and is lifted to take the ball, some refs allow it others penalise us. What is your position sir?
Ref says it will be a penalty, it is not allowed.
I always thought that was ok and can find nothing in the laws currently written that include or exclude this scenario.
Would appreciate your thoughts.
