@Hooroo if he hadn't reached for it, the other guy might have got it first and been able uo do a quick throw in, either way, a player who ys not 1 of the 30 on the park has deliberately touched the ball to affect play.

Yeah I get that, like a if a ball boy touches it, it can't be used for a quick throw.
I just don't have a problem with it if there is no rule around it.
-
@Hooroo think ball boys are different as that's thier role, but yea unsure what the exact rules are.

Not for quick throws they aren't. If they touch it, it can't be used for a quick throw.

@Hooroo no i mean a ball boy is there to retrieve the ball, I am sure they are told about when they can and cannot touch it , a reserve water carrier, physio should have no business touching it.

@Hooroo do they not count as reserves?

That's what I'm asking? Is there any rule around it?

@Hooroo no idea, which was what I posted with the clip saying WR needs to do something

From some of the over-reaction on here, I first thought someone died or even cheated but I can't tell if that has happened
-
There was a game a few years ago where there was two incidents in one match. A staff member did it first and got a warning.
An injured player did it the second time and got a red cardThe injured player part is interesting because he's not an active player
I had a skim through the rugbyrefs forum and it seems all the ref can do is remove the staff from the playing area for the cheating.
There was debate over if they could also penalise the team.In this weekends incident the staff member was removed from the playing area. However the penalty (and YC) went against the player for the reaction

I can understand that, happens on field if you retaliate too.
-
The laws around a quick lineout throw seem to only relate to the players' actions, not those people outside the field of play. I agree with @KiwiMurph that WR should clarify that a team's reserve players and support staff are also included in this category.

So it is fair dinkum cheating then if the refs can do that.

Why don't they just remove the law requiring the ball to be untouched? As much as I like the quirky ones like that, it's a bit silly.
I think it’s supposed to be one of the measures to ensure a quick throw in is with the same ball. Possibly a bit outdated now though.

Well if they're serious about speeding up the game so that there's more "excitement", the same ball regulation can fly too.

Nah, don’t agree with that. Too much licence for off field personnel to interfere. May as well have them on the field. I suppose les of an issue if the line out HAS to be where the ball left the field but I’d rather keep the current flexibility there.
