Quick one. Bit silly, but this one just got us talking in the pub last night.
From the laws : Definition.
Drop kick: The ball is dropped from the hand or hands to the ground and kicked as it rises from its first bounce.
Question.
Red 10 goes for a drop goal. He drops the ball from his hands. Red 9 who is standing next to him, swings his foot at the ball as it is rising and kicks it through the posts . Which of the following is right ?
(a) You award the drop goal as there is nothing in the laws which say it has to be dropped from the kicker's hands
(b) You judge accidental knock-on hence scrum to oppo.
(c) Something else ?
