Looking at the ruck at 4:05 (video time) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmdKqbe3m20 Is anyone awarding that try? Surely the player that picks up the ball is part of the ruck? (he's not last feet/man). Although the other 2 behind him are not technically bound - I'd judge they have still...

I actually hate to drag this one up as it seems to cause much debate... *flashback* ie http://www.rugbyrefs.com/showthread.php?13721-knock-on-or-play-on-from-kick&highlight=knockon 1/3 believed that a BC"lost possession" ball that is kicked to be saved from a knock-on is a permitted kick -...

Ok...first shot. Actually I think it's pretty rank....but I still had to chuckle. Unfortunately I think NZ will be too good for Aust. They're in good form and just clinical all over the park.

Watching the ire vs fra rwc2015 and early in NO PKs France for offside when in front of last person who played the ball. On first sighting I had no issue (and still don't really) so I don't have an issue with the decision NO made at what he saw but it did make me wonder at what point is the...

A comment from another thread that a legal tackle resulting in an injury is not a reason to card a player reminded me of this incident. It happend on the weekend where the tackled player suffered a compound fracture. See clip in here...

Would you allow this? http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/video-tom-pincus-kicks-incredible-backheel-conversion-at-darwin-sevens/story-e6frf4pu-1227201180122 Not sure if this is visible outside Oz, but it was a heel kick for a try conversion. Very clever, but do you think it is legal?

I have a few queries about son of CJs decions, no doubt at the risk of being accused and lambasted of merely being a biased wallabies fan. Some I genuinely don't understand and some I'm trying to figure if perhaps I apply a wrong interpretation at grassroots level. All these times are on the...

I think I know the answer, but have got myself confused because of what appears to be a contradiction in the law book. Can you take a place kick for penalty goal in 7s? I've not ever seen it and I think the answer is no because of this 7's variation. 21.3 How the penalty and free kicks are...

A few players could learn a thing from this fellow! Sign him up for the wallabies! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x5YD1nxBBkg

No doubt we've all heard someone yell "They need to have a receiver, sir!" And of course we all said 'bollocks' in our heads as we play on. Call me slow but I've just realised the new 2014 law book has changed the wording of the receiver positioning law! From "Where the receiver must stand...

Take a look at this... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=733449993363042 Any thoughts? (Besides...ouch!) RC? YC? PK? Play on? (I was AR on far side to the action and had a good view of this and gave some input to the ref about it. What input would you give?) Player was knocked out and...

I was a witness to this. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/canberra-rugby-union-player-alleged-to-have-headbutted-referee-and-kinghit-player-20140525-zrnku.html I won't say anymore on here until after the judiciary hearing, but the article is pretty accurate. The only thing to add...

Had this in my game yesterday, I'm comfortable with my decision and wouldn't change it if it happened again but referee coach thinks I have it wrong... interested in how others might have handled it. Green lineout. I'm at the back of the lineout (I have an AR). It's a shockingly crooked long...

This is the gist of what we've been told (James Leckie provided the presentation)...and of course no signal at all for the SH to feed. Anyone experiencing any issues with preseason trial games?

After Broad's dismantling of Aussies on day 1, Johnson is having his go and has carved up the poms to have them at 8-94 at tea! Could this be an Ashes series with some competition put up by the Aussies?? (Pieterson is still being a w@nker...so some things never change from Ashes to Ashes! He's...

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0g7dLSyCZfs Gotta make you chuckle....a double shoulder charge for his troubles!

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/pay-cut-test-for-wallabies-20131016-2vmy8.html Not world breaking news about the financial issues facing the ARU....but it's not boding well for Australian rugby. Elite players will chase money elsewhere and other codes and leaving the...

Take a look at this at the 2:45m mark... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KTUJgYRz1WE When I saw this live I cringed and expected the worst - fortunately it seems he's OK (by some miracle!) Yes I know this is league, but I had no doubt in my mind what I would be giving if I saw this, even without...
