Definitely seen that steal at the end be called diving over the ruck

Yeah, that is just specifically against the laws, and a bad miss by Doleman

15.16Players must not:....
d. Fall onto, or over, the emerging ball while it is on the ground near to the ruck

Sorry @Strewthcobber you literally missed the cut.

Actually thought it would be let go, or maybe a penalty to Crusaders, Blues were kind of spread and a great argument they had pillar and posts in preventing anyone coming from side? That's illegal now supposedly, and even though no refs seem to be calling it especially when teams are attcking close to line), it was changed so there wasn't as much protection for halfbacks (mainly for kicking). The discussion was if the ball is out of ruck (which that one was) you are allowed a go at it. The one thing I didn't think you could do was dive on it, but I noticed Gardiner , and Berry both letting that go last week, so I'm not sure.

But refereeing errors have no bearing on the outcome. Or so the apologists say.
