I know the accepted wisdom that a player the ground is out of the game, but does anyone have a specific law reference for this?
say for example a player is on the floor having completed a tackle in the previous phase, then a loose ball pops his way and he grabs and passes it, whilst still on the floor. What specifically law states he can't do this? I've had a look but I'm struggling to find something. There are quite a few laws you can infer this is incorrect from (tackle law for example) but I can't find anything that essentially says if you're off your feet (in open play) you're out of the game.
