I agree. I'm just saying that I have seen batting the fumbled ball backwards ruled play-on at every level from down in the weeds to elite, and I wonder where this idea is coming from.
(My embolding of Ian's post)
Of course it is play-on.
Think you meant 'forward'? Juggling in itself is not, per se, a knock-on; however, the scenario as described - whereby the player doesn't have control and loses the ball forward and then kicks it is a clear case of losing the ball forward.
As the ball then goes into touch the non-offending captain is given the option of line-out or scrum.
