Got caught out by this one at the weekend!

For some reason I'd read this (and based off the video) as the ball had to land into touch from the knock on.


After having a knock on occur that bobbled into touch and stopping the quick throw my assessor pointed out that it's the same as for a penalty kick going into touch (i.e. doesn't need to be direct).

Just thought I'd share for others who may have been thinking along the same lines as me.

Yep on your own, unless it's a USA rulingepper:

:buttkick: Since the edification came from an IRB rep I'll go with no, I just read it incorrectly.

I always find it rather gratifying when a senior ref makes the occasional cock up.
Makes me feel less vulnerable. :wink:

Yup, it's happened to me ... once ... when the ball rolled for about 2m after the KO until it went into touch. But I just forgot to link the 2 incidents, not a case of interpretation.
