Is a ball over the touch line in rugby in the air?

Answer 1

When the ball is kicked past the try line it is still in play, which means that if the attacking team dives on it it is a try, if the defensive team touch down on it, it is a 10 yard drop out to them. If the ball continues rolling on past the try line and over the dead ball line the ball goes dead and is brought back for a drop out.

Answer 2

Yes, absolutely right.

In the very beginnings the aim of the game was to get the ball and run toward the opposing "goal line", this is where the goal posts were situated of course. When you got over the line by what was then, legal means you could try to kick the ball over the posts. This was "converting the try in to a goal". The term converting a try still remains"

Answer 3

NO not unless it meets these requirements

'Kicked directly into touch' means that the ball

'Kicked directly into touch' means that the ball was kicked into touch without

landing on the playing area, and without touching a player or the referee.

'The 22' is the area between the goal line and the 22-metre line, including the 22- metre line but excluding the goal line.

The line of touch is an imaginary line in the field of play at right angles to the

touchline through the place where the ball is thrown in.

The ball is in touch when it is not being carried by a player and it touches the touchline or anything or anyone on or beyond the touchline.The ball is in touch when a player is carrying it and the ball carrier (or the ball)

touches the touchline or the ground beyond the touchline. The place where the

ball carrier (or the ball) touched or crossed the touchline is where it went into

touch.

The ball is in touch if a player catches the ball and that player has a foot on the

touchline or the ground beyond the touchline. If a player has one foot in the field

of play and one foot in touch and holds the ball, the ball is in touch.

If the ball crosses the touchline or touch-in-goal line, and is caught by a player

who has both feet in the playing area, the ball is not in touch or touch-in-goal.

Such a player may knock the ball into the playing area.

If a player jumps and catches the ball, both feet must land in the playing area

otherwise the ball is in touch or touch-in-goal.

A player in touch may kick or knock the ball, but not hold it, provided it has not

crossed the plane of the touchline. The plane of the touchline is the vertical space rising immediately above the touchline

Answer 4

If the ball legally goes over or sits ON the try line by either an attacking or defending playre and an attacking player lays hands on it in downward pressure before a defender then its a try.

If the ball goes over or sits on the line legally by an attacking player and a defender touches the ball down before an attacking player with a hand in downward pressure its a 22 meter drop out to the defending team

If a ball goes over or sits on the line legally by a defending player and a defender touches the ball down with a hand in downward pressure then its an attacking team 5 meter scrum

If a ball is carried over the line or on the line by an attacking player legally and the ball is placed down with hand pressure then a try is awarded.

If a ball is carried over the line by a defending player and and the ball is placed down with hand pressure then a a 5 meter scrum is awarded to the attacking team.

Answer 5

in Rugby League its a scrum and in Rugby Union its a Line out or if its behind it post its a 20 metre restart ar goal line drop out

Answer 6

If you drop the ball forward in Rugby, it is called an "knock on", that means the ball has to be handed over to the other team

If the ball goes back, it is play on.
