[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1101417, member: 55747"] Was asked this and i dont know the answer. Context, the no-try from the Aus v NZ game where that try-saving tackle meant the ball was arguably a cm away from being grounded. The question is: does the grounding mean the ball touches the grass or the soil? To clarify: say the ground is perfectly flat, the grass is 1 or 2 cm hight, we have a camera that clearly and unequivocably shows the ball carrier in full control of the ball makes clear contact with the grass but NOT the soil. A millisecond before the ball is about to touch the soil defender manages to grab the ball. Try or no try? Laboratory situation, i know, but still. Not that far off from what happened last weekend. 2 cms could have made the difference. What do the rules say about this? Anyone know? Not sure there is a provision for this. [/QUOTE]
