Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3485115, member: 1769"] surely though the ball would have had to end up over the line. (i'm not sure it would have in this case) because hypothetically under the rule you posted, a player could hit the ground short and promote the ball (which hit the ground at chest level), only for his shoulders to then be carried into the in goal by momentum. under the rule you posted that would technically be a try even though the ball would not have ended up in the in goal, had it not been promoted ... but because the players body (in this case shoulders) ended up in the in goal, the act of promoting the ball means squat. ------------ It also means that the Hoskings no try last year was WRONG ... even though Annesley at that time defended the bunkers ruling [/QUOTE]
