Bit late watching this game, but maybe Fox knew what he was talking about when it came to Cameron all along? A good start for him, hopefully it continues.

When the bloke finally gets to ground the Tah just flops on the wrong side?
maul called - so no 'right side' when collapsed
So you can flop on the ball though to prevent it coming out? Genuinely didn’t know that
yes - if it was called a maul. No obligation to release when they go to ground. Well, as I understand it anyway -- @Damo knows the actual laws!
I have given up the whistle these days.
However I don’t really agree that you have stated the position accurately. The position is that when the maul collapses it must be immediately playable, otherwise it is a scrum. Accordingly there is no requirement to roll way like in a tackle.
However you can't hold onto the ball on the ground if the halfback is right there and would otherwise be able to.access it.
Nor can you flop on the ball after the maul has collapsed to make the ball unplayable when otherwise it would be there for the halfback.
I add that I did not see the game you are talking about so I am not commenting on that incident.
Frankly, it is still cricket season.

Finally watched the game
Some random thoughts while I’m sitting here drinking too much I’ll spell names wrong so using numbers…9and 10 combo is about the best we have seen at the Canes. Not flashy but just really really good. But man Cameron can’t tackle, at all. He makes Mehrtens look like Kaino
9 is the future AB 9 or I am a donkey dick.
Proctor finally showing why he was worth the huge investment. Always been solid on D but finally showing some attack. Next year if you need a bolter who could cover the back line you could do a lot worse.And is this the best front row we have ever seen at the Canes? Has to be by far the best mix we have had.
