Thoughts?

Post TMO review, it was given as a knock on by SA, scrum to France

I think the tackler deliberately *knocks* the ball. If that's the case it's play on

If you think the tackler just happens to dislodge the ball in the tackle, it's a knock on by ball carrier

So for example no head contact?

Ah , just goes to show what a rubbish TMO I would be, I was focused on the knock on question

 

[DocY]

I thought it was similar to Scotland's disallowed try last weekend.

Both cases I thought were clear knock ons if they happened in the FoP and I think it'd have been seen as a lot more controversial had the tries been awarded, so it was probably the right decision!

 

[Marc Wakeham]

According to the directives it is a PK so a Penalty try!

i deliberately left my query "open" to see what people saw.

The action got referred to the TMO for head contact - and the TMO call was knock-on SA, scrum France. No head contact PK/card.

Head first, then descends to neck.

Have a stab at what happened in that one.

At the moment - it is play on as white is attempting a charge down and so the contact is deemed not to be intentional.
But as that is about the third such accidental collision with a kicker in the internationals this season.
So wait a week and IRB might issue a directive to make it a mandatory red.

Surely it wasn't a knock on as the tackler knocked the ball , didn't he ?

Nice try.

PK for France for late challenge with no arms. Not sure if that was NO or the TMO decsion.

Noticeably at odds with the Kerevi on Halfpenny decision in the Wales v Australia game. Am struggling to see a material difference in the two incidents, yet this was a penalty for NO and play on for O’Keefe.

Correct IMO, white player didnt attempt his charge toward the ball - instead he ignored the ball & late hit the kicker [whilst not attempting to grasp either !]

 

[didds]

so what about the kolbe incident?
