Can anyone tell me what the rule is when catching a ball "in-goal" to get a tap 20 is.

Do both feet have to be in the "in-goal" area or can 1 be in the field of play and 1 behind the goal line?

I was re-watching the Huddersfield game and at one point in the first half McIntosh goes to catch a kick from Brough and puts a foot over the goal line before catching it and Huddersfield are given a tap 20.

Thanks

That's the one.

Yes,and loads of 7 tackle sets and penalties are given also.

In a nutshell,I just don't like the rule,and the 7 tackle set. That is my opinion.

A kick that falls short of the try line is a well placed kick and as a result the attacking side will have the advantage. Where the ball lands determines who gets the greater benefit and is a reward/punishment for good/poor skill.
The penalties have nothing to do with this ruling. You could get rid of the seven tackle rule and idiot defenders would still shepherd players off the ball.

So if you kick the ball up and it lands short enough from the try line,and the defender can't put one foot in the in-goal area, what have you achieved apart from only giving a 6 tackle set instead of 7? If you caught the ball in the in-goal area with both feet,fair enough,but just let it be a 6 tackle set. Like i said earlier, a 7 tackle set is stupid.

I also think it should be a 6-tackle set. Attacking kicks should be encouraged.

Also, the ball carrier should be able to start from the 20 regardless of whether or not the officials are 'in position', let the game flow.
