PLAY:
After a try, K1 attempts an onside kick and kicks the ball on the ground toward the sideline. As R1 goes to recover the ball two yards in advance of his free-kick line, he is blocked by K2. K3 recovers the ball.
RULING:
K2 is guilty of an illegal block. Team K players may not block an opponent until team K is eligible to touch the kick. K2’s block is illegal and negates K3’s recovery. The 10-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot.
