"serious" foul by offended team during their advantage play
This is an offshoot of a thread in the football section.
Suppose one team knocks on, and while you're waiting to see if their opponents gain an advantage, the opposing team commits a foul of a more serious nature, some kind of dangerous play, but not enough to DQ or sin bin. Do you:

Confused
I'm a bit confused by the wording of your question. Team A knocks-on. Team B has advantage. Who commits 2nd foul? Team A or B? If Team A commits both infringements then continue advantage (Law 8.5a). If two different sides commit infringements then referee applies sanctions associated with first infringement (Law 8.5b).

Thanks. I hadn't been aware that there's now 8.5(b) to handle that explicitly. Used to be refs in that case would just rule "no advantage" and it would come out that way anyway.

Were you at CanAm this weekend? Saw lots of great rugby and some interesting non-calls by refs. For example, "not in straights" on line-outs were almost never called at all levels of play, similarly, I didn't see too many "hands in" in rucks called. Strange.
