4-35-1a:
A held ball occurs when an opponent places his or her hand(s) on the ball to prevent an airborne player from throwing the ball or attempting a try.

A.R. 28 then addresses this situation:
A1 jumps to throw the ball, B1 prevents the throw by placing one or both hands on the ball and: (a) A1, or (b) A1 and B1 both return to the playing court holding the ball. RULING: Held ball.
