19.6 How the throw-in is taken
The player taking the throw-in must stand at the correct place. The player must not step into the field of play when the ball is thrown. The ball must be thrown straight, so that it travels at least 5 metres along the line of touch before it first touches the ground or touches or is touched by a player.
I'm not talking about TV rugby which always appears to be thrown straight to the catcher.
Down in the weeds, Always a challenge. I've always took the view that if it it is thrown straight and gets over the 5m I treat it as you would a pass that the wind caught and it's play on.
When it's really blowing there is no real advantage to any team.
Just wondering what you guys think?
