Clear penalty.
Interesting.
Neither player had possession so it comes down to if the Green took out the White deliberately rather than making a fair attempt to take possession.
That is no longer the rule as of 2009. You can't take the player out even if your attempt was to get the ball OR if you did actually get the ball. You simply can't take the player out anymore unless it's a 50 and you hit the ball so hard that they go down.
Source ?
I agree you can't go through a player who has the ball, to get to the ball. But White did not have the ball, he was just running towards it.
And if Green had gone rolling around from being kicked by White ?
