Anyone who owns editorial control, or the power to remove/block/erase dissenting opinion or comment , or the power to threaten/ ban the poster Might feel amply protected to post in 'forums' under their real full name

Except that most of us who post under our real names chose to do so BEFORE we became moderators, and there are others here who are not moderators who also post under their real names.

That rather cuts the legs out from under your argument, doesn't it!?

Hi Browner, loved your mix of generations with your references (slide rule and laser pen)

Not so hard to decide where it went out (don't we have the same problem with touch near the try line?), its what we are trained to interpret.

Thanks BB Im bi-generational whenever possible!

But thats a key point Blackberry, if the catcher is outside the Goal Area [instead he's stood in the perimeter alongside it] , then his foot position [seeking to determine the ball being able to be kicked with 'Gain' ] doesn't ever become an issue. Its the 'Gain-ability' that makes this so important an issue.

Not really wanting to perform CPR on this thread however, whilst putting together a presentation focussing on ARs for our next education night, I came across the following in the ARU L2 AR Accreditation Course Workbook. It is in the Decision Making section in the sub-section Where Is The Lineout Formed In The Following Scenarios? Other Scenarios To Consider.
1. A ball in touch gathered in front of the 22m, run back behind the 22m line and thrown in quickly means no gain in ground from a kick out on full
2. A ball in touch gathered behind the 22m line, and thrown in quickly means gain in ground from a kick out on full allowed.

This is regardless of where the ball went into touch.

3. A quick throw passed from outside the 22m, across the 22m line and into the 22m area means no gain in ground from a kick out on full.

I guess the point of this post is to say that if we want a definitive answer to this thread, it will have to be from one of our NH friends pulling a few strings to get a view from someone at WR.
