Are there any regulations regarding holding by referees? After the Sunday evening tangle between one of the linesmen (I forget which) and one of our guys (Jago I think) I saw the linesman pulling on Jago's shirt for leverage to get himself back up on his feet, which temporarily held back our player. Now I know the bloke's got to get up, but isn't using a player as a support during a play considered as a kind of obstruction? (I'm still sort of new to all this and not yet totally familiar with the regulations!)
