Quote: exiled Warrior "Technically he was (just) within the 10m of the ball when it landed even though he was doing absolutely nothing to effect the play in any way, he even stopped and held his position when he realised he could be within the 10.One of those daft rules that really needs looking at.'"
I'd always assumed, it seems wrongly, that in that situation, the 10 m was measured 'as the crow files', the distance between the players in question, but is it 10 m measured along the pitch?
