From the kick off the ball strikes the crossbar and goes out of play behind without touching grass. Is this out on the full or is the sticks part of the field? HC :conf:

Thats a good question. I'd say IN but I havent found a rule on it yet so I cant clarify.

Also... Can one score an own-drop-goal???

There was piece on the TV (Soccer AM on sky I think) were they showed somebody back heeling the ball over the bar.

I'd say out on the full. Or perhaps the posts count as part of the goal line.. but they cant because you can't score a try by placing the ball on the post)... So I'd say out!

has anyone actually tried to score a try on the posts?

I am not 100% sure - however I would suggest that the rules probably state that the ball must touch the GROUND before going dead and the posts are not the ground...

Personally, I'd go for "shake it all about"

Not since they changed the rules to disallow it, but we see plenty occasions when a player is prevented by the posts from grounding the ball over the line.
