just wondering... saw this recently.
In open play black kick long towards the corner in red's 22; it bounces once and hits the corner post and ends up in "touch". Ref gave the 5m lineout and that was my initial reaction too.
Now - the post isn't actually "there" so to speak - its immaterial AIU?
So is that actually a 5m lineout (to red), or a 22 d/o? ie is it actually in touch, or touch-in-goal. Becasue whilst the post isn;t actually there , in effect it is the join of the planes of touch and the goal line/tryline. ?
