Quote: Bully_Boxer "How can a referee punish the offence after giving advantage? It was a grab at the head that should have been penalised if he had dropped the ball or been held up short. As for Whithead the ball carrying arm hadn't hit the ground when Whitehead began his dive.'"
Yes you do, you play advantage, if try is scored then try is given and captain spoken to and told i was gonna give penalty but thetry is the greater of the advantage to oppo so just tell x player i saw him, wave them and away and prepare for kick.
If no try is scored and no real advantage, a few metres is not advantage, then you go back to the penalty, he could have just waved back to six as kr had momentum but only seen robert hicks do it this year even tho the rule was brought in pre season.
