Can't see anything wrong with it. See third and fourth paragraph below.
"One of the infringements referees have clamped down on in the past few years has been obstruction in the maul, or "truck and trailer" as it has been called.
This is when a player acts as a screen, blocking tacklers from reaching the ball carrier.
However players can circumvent this law if two or more team-mates bind around the ball together and move forwards.
As long as the tackler has a fair opportunity to contest the ball, the referee will allow the maul to continue. "
