Foot fault

In a warm-up match in sweltering Wellington, Riccardo Croy of Boland Cavaliers, well inside his 22, kicks into touch on his left. Danie Poolman of the Stormers gets the ball and throws it in quickly to Gerhard van den Heever.

The referee stops play because, in throwing in, Poolman put a foot  into the field of play.

The referee orders a line-out with the Stormers to throw in.

Right?

Law 19.2 (e) At a quick throw-in, if the player throws the ball in the direction of the opposition’s goal line or if the ball does not travel at least 5 metres to the 5-metre line along or behind the line of touch before it touches the ground or a player, or if the player steps into the field of play when the ball is thrown, then the quick throw-in is disallowed. The opposing team chooses to throw in at either a line-out where the quick throw-in was attempted, or a scrum on the 15-metre line at
that place. If they too throw in the ball incorrectly at the line-out, a scrum is formed on the 15-metre line. The team that first threw in the ball throws in the ball at the scrum.

'if the player steps into the field of play when the ball is thrown, then the quick throw-in is disallowed. The opposing team chooses to throw in at either a line-out where the quick throw-in was attempted, or a scrum on the 15-metre line at that place.'

The referee was kind but wrong in allowing the Stormers to throw in again. It should have been an option to Boland.
