Question

In Rugby, can you throw a player holding the ball over the tri line? would this be legal?

Answer 1

probably not, but maybe it should be - anyone should deserve something for throwing 15 stones of meatloaf any distance!

but seriously, wouldnt it be knocked forward?

Answer 2

As long as it is not a dangerous tackle yes

Answer 3

Throw - No.

Assist over the try line - Yes

The rules are open to interpreation, but "throwing a player" to achieve a try, NO !!!

Answer 4

If he is trying to score .... YEs you can nudge him over the dead ball line to prevent him from scoring.

But Throwing him anywhere on the field , like spear tackling or so ....not allowd any more...

Rule came in to play this year and depending on the referee..it is a red card first, then maybe a yellow card and 10 min in Sin bin.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

do you mean pick him up and throw back onto the field of play and out of the goal area (ie the area over the try line??) before he scores a try??

cos if you do the anwser would be no (well, you can do it but it would be against the laws) - you cannot "throw" anyone anywhere -that would be dangerous play and you would probably be yellow carded and 10 minutes in the sin bin

Answer 7

yes, as long as you're not obstructing the opposition from making a tackle/ getting the ball, but it would be quite difficult to do.
