Question about passing
When the ball is passed from one player to another during play I notice that if it is intercepted that is ok but if it is knocked down during the attempted pass by an opposing player there is a penalty. I can't find a reference to this in the general rules. Does the official have to determine if the player was just interfering with the ball or trying to intercept? Does the player have to have 2 hands on the attempted interception or what? Would appreciate some enlightenment on this.
Also, when the ball is in the ruck I have noticed players prying at the ball or even sometimes other players with their feet. It actually looks like they are kicking the other players in the process. What is this and is it legal?
Thanks. First time poster.
