YC back on

If you have a game with rolling subs, can a kicker roll in after the try, slot the conversion and roll back out again?
notwithstanding the calls on dead ball etc as above - yes. But that would use two rolling substitutions up of the alloted number (ISTR there would be a limit to how many rolling sub movements?)

Depends on your country and division. Some have unlimited.
 
How is having physios on pitch relevant?
absent an injury, physios shouldn't come on the pitch unless the ball is dead. they commonly use the dead time of a conversion to come on to the pitch, along with water carriers (but you knew all that, and what I meant :-) )
 
If you do not have rolling subs, can a player bite a blood capsule to become a blood replacement and therefore permit a tactically substituted player back on, to take and miss the kick?
 
So red 10 in the bin having been sent to the bin 71 minutes.
Consider these scenariuos
1. Play continues, without any further scores until 83 Minutes (ball in play), knock on game over. 10 has served a 12 minute bin as there has been no stoppage in play to allow him on.
2. Next scenario play continues red score a try on 83 minutes. Is Red 10 allowed back on to take the kick? Probably?
3. Play continues, red awarded a penalty on 83 minutes. Is red 10 allowed back on to take the kick? Maybe not?
 
After considering all the arguments here, and on another forum I posted to (in both places no agreement reached), I would say 'yes' in both cases - ball is dead, or effectively dead, and time is served.

the second one is a definite 'yes' as there is a clarification exactly on it

Agree. Viewing it holistically, time is served and there is no interruption to play
 
So, in the spirit of equity, I assume the White team's opponents may also make a substitution at that time
yes, I would agree.

My summary would be
- PK to white
- blue cannot slow everything up by making a sub / returning a YC
- but if white themselves do that that (which they can), then so can blue.
- If White go for goal, I'd let a time-expired blue YC on (but not a sub, as I would suspect that being a ploy to disrupt the kicker)
