Hi all, watching the Aus vs Argentina game and I’m confused as to the decision regarding the try attempt just after half time by Australia. The ball is taken into the in goal by Australia and is ripped by Argentina before being grounded by the pumas for a goal line drop out.
My query regards the rip. It seems to me that the player that ripped the ball was on the floor and is therefore off his feet. It looked to me like it should be a penalty to Australia however Carl Dixon indicated that because it was in goal this isn’t the case. Can anyone explain this at all or correct me if I’ve seen the play incorrectly?
