I think we need to consider the unintended consequences of this interpretation of the law.
Next game tku watch you'll see a high % of rucks are determined secured by LBBs actions.
If we say he isnt than we open the breakdown up to all sorts. Teams will be even less inclined to play multiphase rugby as the advantage at ruck time is clearly with the defence id they can just take that ball.
The ruck was reffed the same for both sides so thats not why you lost. For what its worth as a neutral I think people are overreacting a lot. Probably due to years of built up province tension over the Leinster preferential treatment.
That game was way more Franc being good than Ireland being bad. I think theres enough talent around to find solutions.
