From the 2017 Law 12 Knock-on definitions:
[LAWS]If a player in tackling an opponent makes contact with the ball and the ball goes forward from the ball carrier’s hands, that is a knock-on.[/LAWS]
From 2018 Law 11 Knock-on
[LAWS]2. It is a knock-on when a player, in tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent, makes contact with the ball and the ball goes forward. Sanction: Scrum.[/LAWS]
The part in red was removed for the 2018 Laws. If you were reading just the 2018 version who would you say did the knocking-on?
