    How Long will He Likely be Banned for?

    Saracens vs Wasps. Owen Farrell Saracens only hopes of any glory this season is the Heineken Cup and with the quarter finals in 2 weeks, is he likely to be banned for longer than that? Presumably some mitigation from his instant remorse and previous good conduct?

    Visiting New Zealand Soon - out of season?

    Mrs Skids & I jet down to NZ this Saturday (4 Feb) and spend the next 3 weeks or so touring South Island.

    SA BaaBaas vs Eng...TMO remit

    Just watching the SA Barbarians vs England midweek team. Minute 29:09, Wade tackled short of try line but his momentum may take him across line, and he should score. BaaBaa 11 dives in, leading with elbow which strikes Wades neck (1st point of contact) and pushes him out of play. Clearly...

Clearly, it occurs almost immediately after the catcher touches the ground, but what is the point at which he can no longer be legally brought to ground. Apols if...

    kick to touch

    I can't clarify the law regarding this, please help: White kick to touch from their own 22, but since the ball lands off the field of play, white forwards (who are upfield) do not retire 10m. Blue take quick throw in but have to keep the ball tight as white forwards are midfield denying any...
