- Current Referee grade:
- Level 1
[FONT=fs_blakeregular, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A penalty is kicked directly to touch without the ball first being tapped and without the ball touching another player. - This is 5.7.c. [/FONT]
[FONT=fs_blakeregular, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I read this as the ball is kicked and goes into touch, without hitting another player (ie an 11 trying to catch it to stop it going out). I take this to mean that a bounce off the ground is irrelevant and the line out can still be taken. I'm no ref, as I've said previously but that's just how I'd interpret this.[/FONT]
