Subject: Handover or Scrum??

The Laws state:
7. (a) A team in possession of the ball shall be allowed
five successive play-the-balls. A handover shall
occur AFTER the fifth play-the-ball in the following
circumstances.
i. The team is tackled a sixth time.
ii. The team in possession commits an accidental
breach for which a scrum would normally be set.
iii. A player is held up in the opponent’s in-goal.
iv. The ball is kicked directly into touch on the full.

Now, if the ball is kicked into touch, not on the full, then we set a scrum.

What about if:
- a player throws the ball into touch?
- a player runs or is knocked into touch (no tackle effected)

Do you similarly set a scrum, or do you rule a handover?

There is no glossary definition of "accidental breach"

My vote is for a scrum.

Thoughts??
