Which of of course is seldom used in TV rugby, it's gone quite out of fashion

For the knock on , the presence of a TMO, unusually, didn't help. Without a TMO, without replays he would surely would have given a ko The...

let's consider a simpler event. In 41st minute of 1st half Red knock-on and Blue gain no advantage. 1. As ref is bringing whistle to lips to...

it wasn't the TMO making the call. The ref watched the replay on the screen and reached his own conclusion. When he asked if anyone disagreed, they...

This is one of those situations where the process worked, to (probably) the wrong outcome. PG said on-filed decision was a try. For the TMO to...

Mmmm, not so sure. We're happy for trainers to come on while play ia active. If the restart is not proximate to them, why would delay for them?

In a word: no.

It was the players who didn't like it. Unlike rugby, they can't move the ball back through the mark. When a FK was awarded in a perfectly good area...

Nigel is at risk of becoming the Welsh Kaplan

Some interesting points expressed so far, but can anyone clear up if the ref, within the rules, could have changed his mind, cancelled the try and...

we have just received our Game Management Guidelines for 2021. Where a caterpillar is being created (our document calls it a "train") the...

Televised Hockey lets the captain claim one video review. If they are right, they keep their review. If not, or if there is no clear evidence, they...

Because by taking time off, the ref has disadvantaged the NON-OFFENDING team who otherwise had the right to go quickly. The OFFENDING team do NOT...

I'm not clear as to what your point is...maybe it's that 2nd bottle of wine!

Indeed I can. FWIW I disagree with your equivalence. Was just using an example to see if we can end up with inconsistencies.

I am mixed in my thoughts as the defending team you want to get the ball as far away from people like Itoje, who will always be aggressive in...

I disagree with your argument. For me it is not just a case of, for instance, an accidental offside where a player cannot avoid touching...

Having just watched it, it would have been very harsh to have penalised any-one in that play. I would word the situation differently: as Curry lands...

Just confirming.

What Law would prevent them doing so? It is a normal PK, after time has elapsed.

Yes and yes. The lineout MUST be taken if the ball is kicked directly to touch.

In what sense? There were no replays and a wide angle but he seemed to flick his leg out near horizontally whilst in the air and caught him in the...

Could the non-offending team opt to kick to touch and, if so, would time be allowed for a line-out?

Welcome to the asylum!

Sorry, not an Aussie, but being Welsh player/ref with an English wife who also plays has made this an interesting day. Trying to explain to the kids...

As the ball was dead (but the half is not up) where play would re-start after a conversion - at the centre.

No disrespect intended to Treadmore. Apologies if taken as so. However it seems to me to be the equivalent to a fight breaking out in the bar...

Unlike ... it was a reasonable question by Treadmore.

If we accept that, because a penalty has been awarded, play in the first half should continue after the conversion - what would be the location of...

Totally agree He could have managed it better.
