Quote:1876-Fez
(h) Scrum after a maul when catcher is held. If a player catches the ball direct from an opponent’s kick, except from a kick-off or a drop-out, and the player is immediately held by an opponent, a maul may form. Then if the maul remains stationary, stops moving forward for longer than 5 seconds, or if the ball becomes unplayable, and a scrum is ordered, the team of the ball catcher throws in the ball.
‘Direct from an opponent’s kick’ means the ball did not touch another player or the ground before the player caught it.

My understanding is that if you go for the posts the ball is dead as soon as it crosses the try line, the only way it can be in play is if it falls short, or comes back off the post.
One of the reason that I think that rugby struggles to grow a larger following is that there are too many laws. If is regular fans don’t know them all, what chance do new fans have!

That's an interesting supposition. I can't remember seeing it written down. Do you have a reference?
Quote:Rubz
To me that only says it's dead if it crosses the tryline over the posts. It can't be dead when it goes over the tryline elsewhere as this would mean the defensive team wouldn't have to touch it down for a 22, or have the ability to run it back if they wanted, which they can...

Yeah, the ball can't be dead from a missed kick otherwise you wouldn't have to dot it down to get the 22 drop out. This is the one time I'm sad that Sky don't have any premiership coverage this year so we don't have Will Greenwood available to remind us about that particular law...
