So Amsterdam makes the bigtime- whoopwhoop. also note the USA leg is HOUSTON the week before Vegas- am thinking of making a fortnight of it as used to cQach a bit of rugby at UoH- anyone else likely to be reffing/attending both??

new LAT says "if ball in touch from knock on...lineout at the point the ball crossed the touch line" FYI 3 panel refs told me tonight this is not so -if ball knocked on directly into touch LO is in line with the knock on.(only where "crossed the touch line" if it bounced in play) one of the 3...
