[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 515923, member: 24910"] Really - I haven't seen this particular situation much at all! It would be very different had Ellis been over the try line or Kerr-Barlow was on his feet. However it happened in the field of play, and Kerr-Barlow was not on his feet therefore: (if you assume Kerr-Barlow is the tackler, which he probably wasn't...) I don't think I would consider Kerr-Barlow the tackler, hence the following laws are probably more applicable.... If Kerr-Barlow had been on his feet he would have been able to prevent the try: There is no law that I can find that states that a defending player can dive on an attacking player in the field of play and prevent them from releasing the ball (regardless of where the defending player is). If someone can find that law I will readily admit I am wrong! [/QUOTE]
