Can someone tell me the law that says if a conversion is touched it does not count if it goes over he cross bar?

This isn't the AFL.
If the ball travels through the gap represented above the crossbar and between the uprights, regardless of what it hits, it counts.
At the ref's course I did, they even showed a game in Ireland when the ball went through and then got blown back due to a stiff breeze (gale) blowing in off the Atlantic. It is a goal even in that case, just like a ball that crosses the plane of touch then blows back infield is still in play.

We had a referee on the weekend who gave out penalties for every lifting tackle that was performed in the U11's. I did not see one case where the body went beyond the horizontal, it was just that the front on tackler got low enough to drive the other kid backward (obviously off his feet). He penalised probably 5 times and each time said "sorry, I do not have a choice, that is an illegal tackle as he was off his feet" WTF?
That one is specifically addressed in the laws.
I saw a conversion disallowed today.
Don't carry a lawbook with you at all times IS?
Law 9 is the one with regard to scoring goals. It says if a team mate of the kicker touches the ball, the kick is disallowed. If the opponents touch the ball, that should have no bearing on the kick success.
Thoughts on the Brown try in AB v Poms? I've watched a coupla replays & still can't see a grounding. Ayoub seems to have said that 'cos Brown's arm was under the ball that's good enough. Is he right?
Peyper asked Ayoub was there any reason NOT to award the try. There was: the ball wasn't grounded.
Can someone help me out with regard to a call in the USA vs Japan match. around the 55th minute there is a messy ruck. A US player comes into the ruck through the gate and accidentally knocks the ball with his feet into a player on the ground in the ruck. The ref has called accidental offside and given a scrum to Japan.
My question is what separates rucking the ball at the back of the ruck with a boot and kicking the ball into the back of the ruck causing an accidental offside? We had a ref in a local game a few years back that gave accidental offside calls about 7 times in a game each time the 9 moved the ball with his feet at the back of the ruck for the same reason as stated above.
Thanks!
A referee resets a scrum in a different spot because the playing surface is unacceptable where it has just collapsed.
If a penalty is awarded at the ensuing scrum reset, at what location does the penalty get taken?
This can be critical as sometimes refs reset scrums 10m away from the original scrum spot, either infield or towards the sideline.
In theory there could be a 20m variance on where a penalty shot at goal could be attempted from in this situation.
