To me it looks like Preez couldn't get under Ross' chest so went for under his arm/shoulder. Then he went to lift him but Ross was still scrummaging legally, so he released his bind and left Preez stand up and then bound on his chest stopping him getting back down. I'm a loosehead and I use the Preez tactic to overcome tightheads who have good upperbody strength but don't have the brains to slip their bind and let me up on my own. Ross does have the brains, but didn't have an understanding ref.

There is about 5 people that commented on this video that actually know what they are talking about. Ross slipped his bind and forced Du Preez up and out of the scrum. It's simple and a correct decision from the ref. I am a massive munster fan but even if the roles were reversed I'd still comment on whether the ref was right or not be it a for munster or any opposition.
I know we've had some in the past, but holy christ there's a LOT of leinster fans that don't know any of the rules!

@Dunnooooo123 Had another look and I think you're right, Ross does drop his bind marginally before Du Preez. Odd thing is though, the ref doesn't penalise him for that. He gave the penalty for popping up, which I don't see the logic of at all
There's nothing "lucky" about it to be fair. Ross shifts his bind halfway through to put his arm in Du Preez's face and illegally push him upwards. The ref saw it and awarded the penalty.
