It crossed the line

Wed Dec 12, 2012 2:45 pm

We have all seen it happen specially from crosses where the ball has crossed the line but come back into play.

I'm of the opinion that that in these cases the play should continue. Only when the ball hits the ground out of play should the game stop. The only time this rule should not apply is when the ball crosses the goal line.

Anyone else think the same or differently?

Imagine an outswinging corner that only comes back into play at the near post.Whitts has this skill.Might be fun but I can't ever see this becomming law.

I think this rule applies in rugby union?

Interesting thought mind
