Edinburgh -v- Leinster. 70 ish minute, free to Leinster taken quickly. Peep ... not ten .... Tim Hayes (having made a mark in my opinion) says "No, no, no you can't take the second one quickly"
There's an interesting question for you. What happens if you make the mark and the attacking team goes quickley, the defending team on the other hand all stop and look at you waiting for you to bring it back, wondering why you don't pull it up because "every other ref this season has"... even harder if a try is then scored. Coaches, players and spectators will all be up in arms...
Anyone ever include this in their pre-match? I know I've been asked a couple of times if repeated quick taps were acceptable.

Am I missing something gents?Simply ask the person who complains to point to the section of law that prohibits a quick tap in the circumstance. If they can't, then they can't complain.
21.8 Sanction: Any infringement by the opposing team results in a second free kick, awarded 10 metres in front of the mark for the first kick. This mark must not be within 5 metres of the goal line. Any player may take the kick. If the referee awards a second free kick, the second free kick is not taken before the referee has made the mark indicating the place of the free kick.

Selection game the other week.
I award a penalty, they go quick, not 10.
Peep.
As I am marching the 10m for the second PK the defenders are walking back at the same pace as me shouting, "they cant take it quick", "they cant take a quick one ref".
I get to the 10m mark, make a mark and say to the attackers "go when you are ready".
He goes, runs past the defenders who are still shouting "he can't take a quick one", and are still not 10m back.
Attackers score a try.
My coach thought it was brilliant. He said " you walked 10m and made the mark, giving them ample opportunity to run 20m, nothing wrong with that, good work".
We need a list of Myths so we can print them out and hand them out at the pre-match briefing. it would save some time.
Found out later he was Head Coach of the club in charge of the 1st XV!!
Where does it say in the law book about taking the pen as soon as the mark has been made? I am sure it's there, I just can't find it!!!
My Facebook status yesterday contained a small rant about the conversation Gabby Logan had with Jonathan Davies before the Wales Australia match about the "new rules":norc: :norc:With reference to Dylan Hatley's try BM on the BBC highlights was "double movementing" supported by Lawrence Dallaglio later in pundit's corner.
No wonder it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to convince our average L10 knobhead we're right and they're wrong....................................or are we? Dee dee dee dee deee dee dee dee (twilight zone music) :wow: :wow: :wow:
