[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 589521, member: 20605"] It would depend on exactly what happened and we don't know because we never see a really clear view. If he was genuinely acting as half-back, and he was standing behind the HMF, then he could pick the ball out of the back of the ruck. Fine If he was standing behind the HMF, and the ball popped out the side of the ruck and he picked it up, then fine. However (and I think this is what happened) if he was ahead of the HMF, and the ball popped out, and he picked it up, then PING!! [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98915197/TRF/Moore.png[/img] In this head on view, he definitely appears to be ahead of Fardy and if that is a ruck, then Fardy is definitely part of it. Also, Moore couldn't be acting half, because Genia is right there. Its debatable whether or not that is really ruck, but its a judgement call for the referee to make, and generally if anyone is on their feet these days, elite refs will treat it as a ruck. [/QUOTE]
