Forum members will be expecting international level refs to apply the same laws as us next. What’s the world coming to?:)

Nothing audible on the tv from WB re ‘over’. It did get me thinking. In my serious playing days that amount of territorial gain would easily be considered an advantage but nowadays even much lower level teams have a kicker that can slot the ball over the posts from the halfway line without wind...

I accept what people are saying about two wrongs etc and expecting defenders to react. Unfortunately if you review the whole incident before the ball came in you will see that the first person offside was the Australian receiver. Try to stop the game clock at 77.30.

The Australian receiver looks to be outside the fifteen as well.

He wasn’t playing! So needs to be banned for entering the pitch without permission!:)

Is that why the ref went back for the U knock-on Because he saw the illegality of it?

Both of these will be corrected! Forward pass into touch should be a choice (was missed in 18 simplification and not put back in) Sanction for 11.2 will also show in 11.1 - prob sooner on website than the FW pass issue) when I've completed some tech work. The above was posted on this site on...

I could add being accidentally knocked into an offside position by an arriving teammate. Who deserves the card? First offence in game.

It was correct. It was overtly written into the laws prior to 2018. It was left out by error in the simplification. If you read all my posts on this matter you will find that I was chasing this up with WR and recently the WR laws officer announced on this forum that it was going to be addressed...

The answer is that the lineout or scrum is in the half that initially wins the ball. (Thereby available for 50/22.)

The 22 is quite easy. As you say if the line is up the middle then it is in, but the half way line is a problem. Which half is it in?

Post #34 in the thread about tackle height.

I should have said #34 in the other thread.

It’s in the link I posted earlier in the thread. Hence my comment about ‘subtle differences’.

You would be able to prise the ball by exerting vertical or downward force as opposed to ‘through’ force?

https://community.wru.wales/2023/06/21/new-world-rugby-global-tackle-height-law-trial-ready-to-be-launched-in-wales/ There are a few subtle differences in interpretation.

Something tells me you weren’t taking the question seriously.:)

:love::cool:(y)(n):devilish::geek::mad::eek::unsure: I think I can access them.

I find it interesting that it is often said (by OB… and others) that the laws are not written as a legal document because the law books would consist of several tomes if they were. But it seems to me the disciplinary process is conducted as if they were, with defence lawyers allowed to pick...
