Judging whether the football has touched the line drawn on deformed grass or non-deformed grass or rough dirt or on any other surface that isn't perfectly flat is just shifting the challenge to an even worse situation, since you can't even see the ground under the ball.

Dec 4, 2022 at 8:31	comment	added	WS2		@ScottishTapWater But doesn't the question of whether it touches the line give rise to exactly the same sort of dispute as to whether it is over the line? There remains the problem of the overhanging part, which must be exacerbated in rugby with the oval shape.
