World Rugby announcement forces ref to change decision as player points out mistake

A top rugby referee was forced to change his decision during Sale Sharks' clash with Harlequins after a player pointed out that a major World Rugby law change had not yet come into effect. Christophe Ridley initially awarded a penalty against Sale Sharks for a suspected hip-drop tackle, only to reverse his decision after Sale captain Ernst van Rhyn reminded him that the new law would not be introduced until November.
