I think we have universal agreement (on this thread) that 15.16.d should be ignored when the ball is in-goal ? Don't you agree?Curious. You seem to advocate ignoring a law in certain situations which appears to be at odds to your opinion/
thinking in the thread 'Tackle/release inches from the try line".
Someone will soon roll out "apply it as if you were mid field".
IMO almost all refs would agree with that.
So in this scenario we have what is sometimes called a 'convention' : a convention that a Law shouldn't be applied as written.
In the 'Tackle/release inches from the try line" scenario
1- I think you are confusing me with someone else - Marc? As I hardly posted on that thread and didn't really express a viw
2 - I think that in that scenario the general convention is that the Law should be applied as written.
It would be good if WR amended Laws to reflect agreed convention .. but they don't !
