[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 468949, member: 20892"] Five seconds is a long time. I think the law should really be a bit more open - perhaps simply that teams can't just hold the ball at the base of the ruck for extended periods of time. Teams will soon work out how long the ref will allow it, but it really shouldn't be that long. Basically the only time you see teams hold the ball at the ruck for significantly longer than five seconds is when they want to shut the game down, and the opposition can't contest the ball when it's sitting at the back of the ruck. It's negative play and should not be allowed. [/QUOTE]
