I know that you are correct and it was just poor research in these 2 instances. But there is nothing to say that a 10 cannot pack down at flank (happens quite a lot) or indeed jump in the lineout.

So you think that the researchers said hmm, you know what would make this more realistic, if we say that a back rower is in the sin bin and we put a 10 in to pack down. These Home And Away fans will really appreciate that!
