Technical Question

Post by Phil B »

Was just thinking (yes, dangerous).

Player dives into corner, and crosses the try line. No problem with being in touch. Tackler gets up, moves away. Attacking player, on back, gets up, but forgets to touch down. He kicks the ball away, thinking he's great, :smt007 and the ball goes into touch. Referee notices no grounding, :smt018 so can't award the try. What happens next? :smt017

Happy new year to everyone!!

Being serious for a moment. I'm assuming as it's "touch in goal" it would be a 22m dropout to the defending team. I'm ready to be corrected by those who understand the laws better.

Yes, but my immediate thought in response is there has actually been no touch down.

My guess is that the Referee has a sudden hamstring injury, and hands over immediate responsibility to another of the officials.

Have the TMO review it, he's bound to come up with something.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

No No No - he draws a non existent square after saying "Time off" and then goes the length of the field to watch the in-ground tv which isn't showing this weeks episode of "what's a deliberate knock on" so is left very confused. THAT MEANS HE IS A NORMAL REF

Option where ball entered into touch. Ball was never dead so kicked out on the full.

Slight problem - ball was kicked out by an attacking player, and not necessarily on the full.

Well clearly not an attack ball. If it was not direct then line out to defending team, if full option.

I am not sure whether anyone has replied who is a "Referee", but hope that if they do they announce themselves as such. After all, it's the Referee's problem.....

If the ball is kicked out behind the try line then it is a drop out on the twenty-two. If the ball is kicked direct in into touch by the attacking player then the line takes place level from where the ball is kicked but of course this would be on the five metre line. Of course I am just guessing but it seems logical so I am probably wrong.

Its either a 22 drop out if he kicked it into touch in-goal, or a lineout to the defending team if the ball went into touch in the field of play. Its not direct into touch as attacker kicked in from in the in-goal area.

My thoughts :smt017 :smt017 are:

1.As the attacking player simply kicked the ball away, and in doing so it crossed the touch line and out of play, then -

2. It surely :smt045 must be a defensive line-out either on the 5m line, or beyond, if the ball crossed the line further down the pitch.
