[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 276927"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Flyin Ryan @ Sep 4 2009, 07:12 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=410407']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> 1) 1st thing to think about: Is it a ruck? A 'ruck' is when there is at least one player from each team who is [b]on his feet[/b] contesting the ball on the ground. 2) If 'Yes', then you must a) stay on your feet if you enter the ruck and B) keep your hands off the ball. To gain posession you have to ruck/ push your opponent(s) out of the way. 3) If 'No', then you can run in and take the ball. The tackled player must release posession; if he doesn't you should get a penalty. Of course, if another opponent gets there while you're trying to take the ball, then a ruck is formed and you must let go. [/QUOTE]
