Rebels v Crusaders

Gotta say despite all the missed tackles the Rebels have scrambled well tonight to snuff out some good breaks the Crusaders have made
Wilkin has been great value.
However, any attacking spark they've got is about to get killed by the introduction of Powell
-
-
That's twice they've been pinged for that now, simple lack of awareness of what's going on
-
-
That was amazingly poor ruck defence.
-
-
Matera has been huge in the 2nd spell.
Nice finish by Williams

The skill level gap between these teams is enormous.
T Williams ABs? Wouldn't mind it.
I'd have him over Bower.

61:22 - Crusaders throw the ball in. Two of their players move inside the 5m before Whitelock drops it down to them. Is that illegal? Lineout isn't over, after all. Only the hooker could be there I thought?
Once the ball is thrown you can move.

I looked it up and there's no restrictions on moving into that space once ball is thrown. Cf. the 15m line, which is disallowed.

Matera looks hurt

Right - I knew the 15m rule and that the hooker/opponent could be there. The crucial bit is 29d after "any player in the lineout may...".
*Leave the lineout so as to be in a position to receive the ball, provided they remain within 10 metres of the mark of touch and they keep moving until the lineout is over. *
If they move in there and AREN'T in a position to receive (i.e. ahead of the ball), then it's a short arm.

Not so keen on his defence there though

That particular requirement (and to keep moving) is more honoured in the breach...
There is a specific law about the 15m but nothing about the 5m line. Ergo it is fine.
