While playing on Saturday we regained Possession of the ball in our 22 and our 9 box kicked. Because we had the wind against us he kept it low and me, the winger, chased after it. As the ball bobbled forward (in a similar manner to a grubbed kicked) my opposite number and I were pretty much neck and neck in who was getting the ball first. I slid head first to collect it and he slid feet first. I got to the ball first and rolled so his boot wouldn’t end up in my face. However he caught me quite badly on the inside of my knee cutting it.
My question is, is it legal to slide in feet first and if you make contact with the opposition on the floor while they have the ball while sliding feet first what happens?
