Which? Mine or WR’s?i think that's a pretty good clarification.
both !Which? Mine or WR’s?
why do you say that? Clarification seems clear & unambiguous to me. Am I missing something?Up to the ref to decide then.
They didn't actually answer Q2 .. was Johnny May legal ? They just give the framework for the decision and invite you to make your own mind upwhy do you say that? Clarification seems clear & unambiguous to me. Am I missing something?
Yeah OK. I think the conclusion is that, if the next point of contact is the ball with the in-goal, then play on. But that's just my viewThey didn't actually answer Q2 .. was Johnny May legal ? They just give the framework for the decision and invite you to make your own mind up
I think it's legal, but then I look again at how close his boot is to the tacklers head and ...Yeah OK. I think the conclusion is that, if the next point of contact is the ball with the in-goal, then play on. But that's just my view
maybe it's better to explain the principles and framework, rather than a sinlge decision and have everyone extrapolate what the principles and framework must be.I think they didn’t answer Q2 because even they don’t know and can’t decide.
fair point and I concur.Yeah OK. I think the conclusion is that, if the next point of contact is the ball with the in-goal, then play on. But that's just my view
I think that's an important factor, but not the only factor -- hence they cannot say unequivocally that May was legalYeah OK. I think the conclusion is that, if the next point of contact is the ball with the in-goal, then play on. But that's just my view
Looks like an attempted trip by that player on the ground - RC for mine...Does it apply to ARs too?
Cool. So jumping over a tackler is illegal for 90m of the park, but legal within the last 5m? Talk about making the waters muddied with a clarification, but I guess that's pretty normal with WR documents.Yeah OK. I think the conclusion is that, if the next point of contact is the ball with the in-goal, then play on. But that's just my view
No, jumping over a tackle is illegal in the first 90 or last 5m of the park. Diving for a try isn't. The only thing a ref needs to distuinguish is a jump/hurdle from a dive. I reckon I can do that.Cool. So jumping over a tackler is illegal for 90m of the park, but legal within the last 5m?

Yes, but not over his head as he is in the process of getting upSo if a ball carrier steps/jumps over a prone player who is not attempting to tackle, that is OK?
