I'm obliged to you oh knowledgeble one, now can you clear up the restart from the play the ball, after a tackle
"Section 11. The Tackle and Play-the-Ball (continued)
page 26/10/(b) The tackled player shall without delay regain his feet where he was tackled, lift the ball clear of the ground, face his opponent’s goal line and drop or
place the ball on the ground in front of his foremost foot."

Drop the ball? surely this would result in a scrum down for a knock on?

That does sound strange, but if I remember the ball can be dropped (in a controlled manner) and played with the heel on the half volley ( a drop kick with the heel)

Does that sound right?

It probably says it should be played with the foot but nobody does that these days either.

Does it say the players can just lie on the tackle until the ref shouts move? Or does it sayu they should roll away as soon as the tackle is complete?

In reality I'd say only about 50% of the rules are actually enforced

And when more are enforced, people complain that the referee is hogging the limelight too much and has ruined the game.
