Goal-line

scenario 2

Red player kicks the ball from the field-of-play towards his opponents' goal-line. Blue player, with one foot in the field-of-play and one foot in in-goal, catches the ball as it rolls towards him and touches down.

Decision:     22 metre drop out

Note:    It is immaterial whether the ball is caught on the full or the bounce. It is a question of whether the player deemed to be in-goal received the ball.
