[Law] Kick-off not reaching 10m Line.

[Phil E]

Doesn't seem fair to me:

Bad kick: goes 10m but out to the full. Options for the opponents: re-kick, scrum, OR lineout

Awful kick: not 10m AND out to the full. Options for the opponents: re-kick, scrum but NOT lineout

Seems like you are better off with an awful kick :wtf:

Never had anyone take the lineout option in over 20 years.

I've never seen it either, I've yet to see a KO blown back and straight to touch either. If it happened and the choice is a scrum at the centre or a LO on the opponents' 10, I can imagine teams going for that.

Of course, it's now going to happen in the first half of next season, that's how RR.com works...

The real reason I read RR.com - like Casandra, ignore these posts at your own peril... :biggrin:

Lineout option is unlikely indeed but still on if your scrum sucks but you have a solid lineout. Of course you still have the QTI option too. I have seen it with my very eyes while ARing: smart second row catches the KO in touch and sprints towards the middle line to take the QTI. Too bad he didn't considered his own momentum and ended up throwing forward otherwise the opposition would have been caught quite off guard.

Ah, but which way were his hands facing when he threw the ball?

And was he wearing leggings ?

I reckon you are being sarcastic, but just for the sake of it: I don't think it matters in a QTI, does it?

nah, just having a joke reflecting on the momemtum/forward pass discussions previously. No harm intended

That's either because:-

The captain/players don't know the options available so say scrum be default.

A (thick) prop shouts scrum because that's what he likes.

or perhaps if it's so windy that the ball won't go 10m why would you take a lineout? God forbid one of them might have thought about it!!! :biggrin:

My bad. I mean ironic but wrote sarcastic.

Irony a bit like coppery but made of iron.
