I didn’t hear a whistle or instruction to put time back on, nor (for what it is worth) was the TV clock running when wales took the PK. I have...

In this case time was off, they had TMO to determine the YC

Unless someone says "time off", ball is live.

The only geography where I have come across this "interpretation" is the United States. And it's wrong.

It's completely normal to be playing , with physios on the pitch

Law 18.5

The physio can be on the field of play, without time being off. As long as play isn’t impeded by their presence. England won last weekend and...

No, but they are surely allowed the normal time to leave the fop.

I think the ref was a few seconds too early .. But generally , yes, I am ok Wales didnt go quickly to take advantage of the YC and Physio being...

Even if it was a referee mistake, that in no way excuses professional players for being caught napping. Inexcusable in underage rugby, especially...

Meant to reply to other thread?

So you were happy with the restart being taken in that situation ?

From which team ? I don't think white physios are entitled to slow up red PKs ..

But if the slow runner-off were a water-carrier or a medic....??

I am not sure - can the YC player dictate the pace of the PK restart by dawdling as he leaves the pitch ensuring his team mates are ready? I...

But bodies still running on/off the pitch is not right, surely?

He had made a mark, hadn't he, so Wales were entitled to go Don't make the mark until you mean it !

I am not sure ! On balance I think the mark was made too early. On the other hand England should have been paying attention If the ref had...

It's play on in this case.. Only if the ball is touched/ touches a human!

Both. Nothing in law was wrong strictly speaking other than England had too many players on the pitch at the time. I.e. player had not gone off. But...

Only people. I don't know if that's changed.

I take it you probably don't agree with the way it was handled then!!

The refereee shouted "wait wait" but didn't bring it back!

What are you agreeing with, Balones? That England needed to be more awake, or that the referee was wrong to allow the penalty to be taken while...

No need for VAR. What’s needed is for Eddie to be absolutely brutally honest with his squad. Caught napping like some shower of amateurs. Some...

Just seen another replay - no.

Dumb play by Watson. Should've just levelled him

Was the winger offside, I'd like to see a VAR

If I've allowed the kick, we're playing on.
