At my match this weekend, I had an odd situation that "didn't look right". 7v7 LO, the non-throwing team with 2 pods, lifted both jumpers. The front jumper tipped the ball back towards his side, but the momentum of the throw had the ball caused it to end up in the second jumpers hands. Would you allow one jumper to knock or pass the ball to another lifted jumper?

As long as it didn't go forward I can't really see a problem with it....I also don't expect to ever see it...but then neither did you :biggrin:

I can't see any offence; front pod have to behave correctly if maul formed but, no forward pass=no offence

I agree it looks weird but I can't think of any specific laws which would prevent this being legal.
