He said that if it was in open play, and the ball carrier bounced the ball caught it it then executed a drop kick then the initial bouncing would be a knock-on.

Then he said that such bouncing prior to using a drop kick at a conversion was pratting about, in that the opposition could charge as soon as he tried to bounce it.
