Am I reading this right?
22.4 OTHER WAYS TO SCORE A TRY
(b) Grounded against a goal post. The goal posts and padding surrounding them are part of
the goal line, which is part of in-goal. If an attacking player is first to ground the ball against
a goal post or padding, a try is scored.
I've always thought you could score a try at the base of the post/on the bottom of the padding, but reading 22.4(b) it seems to suggest that the whole padding is 'in play'
Am I missing somthing or have I stumbled upon my own urban myth?
