[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 329954, member: 20605"] My iimmediate thoughts are as follows, but if you don't mind, I will post your question on the referees forum and see what others think. [COLOR=Blue]10.4 DANGEROUS PLAY AND MISCONDUCT (c) Kicking. A player must not kick an opponent. [COLOR=Red]Sanction: Penalty kick[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue](d) Tripping. A player must not trip an opponent with the leg or foot. [COLOR=Red]Sanction: Penalty kick[/COLOR][/COLOR] I your case, I think you could rightly have expected the referee to ping your opponent for dangerous play. If the player had successfully kicked the ball away from you without colliding with you, I would be inclined to let it go, but warn the player that it could be potentially dangerous if he got it wrong. However, it[B] is[/B] illegal to kick the ball out of another player's hands if he is attempting to score a try [COLOR=Blue]LAW 22.4 OTHER WAYS TO SCORE A TRY (e) Tackled near the goal line. If a player is tackled near to the opponents’ goal line so that this player can immediately reach out and ground the ball on or over the goal line, a try is scored. (f) In this situation, defending players who are on their feet may legally prevent the try by pulling the ball from the tackled player’s hands or arms, but must not kick the ball. [/COLOR] Incidentally, a player would also not be allowed to slide on the ground and tackle you (by grabbing you and pulling you down) if you have successfully picked up the ball. [COLOR="Blue"]LAW 14: BALL ON THE GROUND 14.1 Players on the ground (d) A player on the ground must not tackle or attempt to tackle an opponent. [COLOR="Red"]Sanction: Penalty kick[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
