Lineout lifting law: 2017 Law 19 Touch and Lineout (d) Lifting and supporting. Players may assist a team-mate in jumping for the ball by lifting...

Ha ha. Seems like a good decision for that level of game.

aiui you are not wrong. I guess this is so endemic in sevens that nobody "cares". didds

fair enough!

Issue I’ve noticed at lineout. Ball thrown in, caught and then catcher held in air while the thrower runs to become the receiver. I thought you had...

China lineout And that's the guidance. if you can't be bothered to chase them, then they can play at their own pace.

Ireland surprised England in a scrappy match. USA romp over China but don't show anything but size and speed. Interesting incident in that game....

It was used last season (2017-18) in the Australian A-League. I'm not a soccer follower but from what I heard it had pretty mixed results and...

Well done jason . Attend as many society meetings as you can . Doing touch judging is a deffinate yes. ..introduce your self to their appointed...

like so many things - it all boils down to intent did he try and catch it, happened to knock it forward, re-gather ? -- Play on or did he...

Hi, yeah the course was great, I really enjoyed it. In the end it was confirmed that all I needed to take with me was some outdoor kit (so tshirt,...

Note: There isn't a specific law covering 'intentional knock-on' as you can't have an 'intentional knock-on' without violating 11.3 'intentional...

Here is a brief summary of the development of the law on knock-ons. 1871 Knocking on i e deliberately hitting the ball with the hand and...

Right on the limit of acceptability. He initially tries to make a one-handed catch by cradling the ball (rather than knocking the ball forward...

So, 11.4 talks about negating an "intentional knock-on", but that's not an offence in law 11, only "intentional knock" of the ball forward. This is...

only if he'd beeen in a black jersey :)

I read the first post and immediately thought of this recent Super Rugby try:-...

So the Lancashire Twitter feed claims a structure for this season was agreed - with a further review for next season. It does not actually say what...

And that's the human decision element we have to make with what's in front of us, did he deliberately 'knock the ball forward' or did he attempt to...

You are choosing to ignore the fact that he deliberately knocked the ball forward. The caveat about catching ONLY applies to an accidental knock...

That's a much higher bar. I am not suggesting you treat the Laws like Statute Law I am suggesting that , post the comprehensive 2018 rewrite we...

In that case the ball is in the air for nearly three seconds. In which case I hope I would have blown before they regathered. It is the grey...

So if a player deliberately bats the ball 10m upwards and 20m forward then runs forward and catches it you are going to say play on? Clearly he was...

Yeah it does, isn't the trigger for us "are you in a realistic position to catch the ball?", if the player catches the ball then he's in a realistic...

A definition from the net:" so customary or routine as to be expected of everyone or on every occasion." A touch of sarcasm on my part. Personally...

It is very difficult to make a one-handed intercept. If a player tries to improve his chances of stealing the ball by knocking the ball up in the...
