Tell them again, and again, and again - you can’t deliberately restart the game and give another team the advantage. Same as in the Falcons game Friday, 4 times I heard sir call water off before...

Either way we’ll debate it for months on end

oh and @andyflisher - he’s awesome ;-)
I think I’m going to stick to my original thoughts, if it looks dangerous I’ll ping it. As WB confirmed there’s no basis in law for pinging a jump by default, it’s the danger that’s the trigger, so...
It was awkward TV, and a waste of air time for me. Sure, two parties involved in each interview, but the players responses are predictable and can be managed. There’s an argument from some circles...
The possession thing is an interesting point, and part of the back and forth I had on Twitter around Wayne's video, and it then comes down to nuance and 'having to see it' - I could well imaging a...
In a twitter convo (I've asked Wayne, not expecting an answer but someone else has jumped in), their take is that it's in and around juggling counting as in possession (which I get, in the sense that...
I'm not entirely sure, it certainly muddies the water as I saw player knock it forward, then it bounced backwards off of him (not the same as being played back as in WB's example) so not convinced...
This, and it will only get worse because there is no consequence for actions that in other walks of life would be illegal, or at the very least dealt with by society
Hmm, did I hear that right, Wayne says a knock forward whilst trying to catch, and then batting it backwards (without catching) is not a knock on, I would have thought that falls into the not caught...
I remember it, he got a lot of stick as his reaction to the card wasn’t the best - think he was surprised when it was upheld!
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 head (I’m reluctant to use ‘kick’ but it looked like...
Same with holding 10 at line outs, he was screaming stop, stop but no one was, and not penalising so it very quickly became ignorable white noise by the players, over shadowed by other issues though!
Agree, all else in between is irrelevant here, knocked forward, not caught.
I don’t think the TMO or AR’s can do anything, it’s down to the ref when time is on and off, and Wales did nothing wrong in law either, time was on, they were alert, they scored.
Could the ref?...
There we go then, still there, penalty as I thought - not sure if there’s a question about materiality, any red players close? Comments about spectacle rugby still stand though hence why I suspect it...
Hence my tongue in cheek answer above, we know what a player who goes to ground to gather the ball can do, here I was already there. I believe it used to say that the game is played by players on...
Knock on
Play on
But that’s not what happened, he just knocked it forward, half a juggle at best
Seriously though, technically correct, it’s a penalty - but I think it falls into the positive play category so they let it go as a good spectacle
So he used it immediately? If he’d gone to ground, grabbed the ball and used it immediately would that be ok?
He just skipped a step ;-)
Part of me (a small part!) is glad we lost by more than 14, so it mostly takes those two tries out of the equation, England lost that game on their own merit ultimately
I mention his leg because it was in front of his hand, to hit his leg it had to go forward from his hand (some are debating it went forward), after that I agree with you, not gathered so knock on
Best frame I could get, I think arm his behind him? 4064
Do you not think it came off his hand? I saw hand behind the body trying to gather, forward off hand onto leg?
Some on Twitter are claiming It didn’t go forward? But his hand was behind his leg, and it hit his leg, so ?!?
