This happened just yesterday at highschool 7s tournament here in Canada.
I was reffing a game between red and green. Red kicks off from a restart and sends it into the green in goal area. Green player picks it up and for a moment looks like he is going to run it out, but as red chasers arrive the green coach and teammates scream " touch it down!!!"
This is where it gets comical. Green ball carrier goes on one knee, much like a touchback in American football. Green lowers his guard and a red player grabs the ball out of green's hand and touches it down for a try. A could only shrug my shoulders as the green player protested. At half time when the green player cooled down a bit I pulled him aside and explained what he did wrong.
I imagine he won't make that mistake again.
