A Gold player kicks the ball from the field-of-play towards Blue's goal-line. It rolls to within one metre of their goal-line and stops. A Blue player, with one foot in the field-of-play and one foot in in-goal reaches out, picks up the ball, and touches down. What do you do?
Incorrect - You answered C.
The correct answer is: D.
22.9 & 22.7d : A defending player who has one foot on the goal-line or in the in-goal who receives the ball is considered to have both feet in in-goal. If a defending player threw or took the ball into the in-goal and a defending player grounded it, and there has been no infringement, play is restarted by a 5-metre scrum. The position of the scrum is in line with where the ball has been touched down. The attacking side throws-in the ball.
i was of the opinion that even if the player had 1 foot in goal and the ball had stopped moving then it was deemed as taken back. as the law states 'the defending player who receives the ball' in this scenerio he/she did not receive the ball but took it so to say.
