Message: [QUOTE="Art Vandelay, post: 2735220, member: 8304"] After doing a bit of research, looking through the 2013 rulebook: [I]"[COLOR=#006400]Where the ball which is stationary in the field of play or thein-goal area comes in contact with a player in touch, touchin-goal or over the dead ball line, the ball is deemed to havebeen made dead by that player. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080]Should a kick be made dead by a defending playerstraddling the dead ball line or touch in-goal line, play will restartwith a goal line drop-out.[/COLOR]"[/I] The wording is still far too vague but the blue passage clearly indicates the Peachey rule has been overturned. Other than for kickoffs there are no more in goal area hacks. For general 'in-touch' though (the green passage) the phrasing is way more confusing but, devoid of other context, I would assume that being "made dead by that player" indicates that the scrumfeed goes against said player. I'm assuming the use of the word 'stationary' is simply a reference to the previous rule since overturned as there are no differentiating passages for a ball in motion. [/QUOTE]
