Player places the ball on the tee. Pre-kick routine. Takes steps towards the ball to kick and the ball falls off.
Opposition players start to move towards the ball to play on. Referee (me) sends them back, allows the kicker to replace the ball on the tee with a team mate to hold it, and start the routine again, then complete the kick (all within 60 seconds).
Kick successful, cue outrage from opposition players, coaches and spectators - "you can't replace the ball".
I can't find anything to corroborate their stance in law, only under conversions. Was I correct?
Ta!
