[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 463390, member: 20605"] [TEXTAREA]16.2 JOINING A RUCK (b) A player joining a ruck must bind on a team-mate or an opponent, using the whole arm. The bind must either precede, or be simultaneous with, contact with any other part of the body of the player joining the ruck. Sanction: Penalty kick (c) Placing a hand on another player in the ruck does not constitute binding. Sanction: Penalty kick[/TEXTAREA] The ball wasn't out when Rougerie kicked it out out of the ruck (then another French player kicked it again before Weepu tried to chip the ball). However, the only way that Rougerie was legally entitled to play the ball with his feet is if he was part of the ruck, i.e., he must be BOUND into the ruck, He wasn't, so when kicked the ball, he was offside. Running a supporting line is not blocking or obstruction, otherwise everyone every team-mate of the ball carrier would be obstructing every time they run in support. The try came about because the All Blacks exploited a tactical error by the French at line-out time. They decided (on the NZ throw) to challenge in two pods when they saw NZ setting up two pods, instead of staying on the ground and preparing to drive. If they had done their homework, they would have known that the AB's have done this exact same move before... watch from 3:50 [media=youtube]dW9yWvnl_6E[/media] [/QUOTE]
