And if they threw it at an opposing player they would just turn the ball over.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes it is illegal to take the ball within the 5m and the ref will award a free kick however it is possible he will ask for the ball to be thrown again but not very often this will probably happen at a low open grade or at school age rugby and not at any decent level of senior rugby.
