Yeah I looked at the video posted now and his knee and prior to that butt hit the ground about 2m before the line. Once he sits or his knee hits the ground it's a tackle.

Re: Highlanders vs Crusaders Match Thread
The correct ruling is... Ball carrier plus tackler(in this case two) plus another from the ball carriers team equals a maul. Law... "It consists of a ball carrier and at least one player from each team, bound together and on their feet." So it was a maul not a tackle therefore the ref was wrong to ...
