Very interesting question and probably not worth a laugh. Before I answer I put the following question> The ball is played and there is no acting half : when can the defence move:- The answer is not until an acting Half comes in and the ball is received by the first receiver or acting Half runs etc.
Given that the passing of the ball to no one is not a breech of the law, the defence can not move up until the first receiver receives the ball. The referee should use his/her voice to direct a player to pick the ball up. Of cause if the referee thinks that the play is is being used as delaying tactic and no one goes to pick up the ball after he warns them. Well that is a different matter

A mini - mod ruling : the laws state that the defence
>cannot move forward from the 5m until the ball is in
>the hands of the first receiver or the dummy half
>elects to run. So what is the ruling if the dummy half
>passes the ball to no one, the ball bounces 20m back
>and a player from the opposing side then runs through,
>picks up the ball and runs away and scores? ( This
>created a great deal of fun discussion at our meeting
>last week )
