[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 794252, member: 20605"] Cruz. Let me just pull you up on one of the great myths about rugby. When a player goes to ground to take possession of a loose ball [COLOR=#000000][U][B]there is NO requirement for any player top let him get to his feet[/B][/U].[/COLOR] [I]"You have to let him up" [/I]is a phrase that is often repeated and it is WRONG, and has no basis in any Law of the game. It is in fact a complete misunderstanding of Law 14. [TEXTAREA]Law 14: BALL ON THE GROUND - NO TACKLE 14.1 PLAYERS ON THE GROUND (a) A player with the ball must immediately do one of three things: • Get up with the ball • Pass the ball • Release the ball. Sanction: Penalty kick[/TEXTAREA] Just because one of the options of the player in the ground its to get up with the ball does not me that opponents have to let him do that. [TEXTAREA]14.2 PLAYERS ON THEIR FEET (a) Falling over the player on the ground with the ball. A player must not intentionally fall on or over a player with the ball who is lying on the ground. Sanction: Penalty kick (b) Falling over players lying on the ground near the ball. A player must not intentionally fall on or over players lying on the ground with the ball between them or near them. Sanction: Penalty kick[/TEXTAREA] At no stage did Mo'unga fall on top of the Jaguares player. [/QUOTE]
