Incident this week got me thinking.
Red kick long down the pitch an the chase is on.
Black fullback drops on ball, regains his feet and is immediately tackled by green chaser and brought to ground. Support from both teams arrive quickly, ruck is formed but momentum is with red who in the act of driving kick the ball forward out of ruck, probably accidentally but clear penalty.
What if this scenario had happened.
Black ball carrier tackled, tacler releases and as black places the ball on the ground, green support coming through gate steps over unopposed and kicks the ball forward when blacks hand is on the ball after placing it, play on?
