Six Nations keeps on giving. That's if France actually play! Pretty obvious France have completely fucked it with Covid and the sports minister is threatening to pull them out of the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasing. To be fair he's not hiding behind any excuses. He's getting stuck into England. Absolutely disgraceful questions from Sonya McLaughlin here. It wasn't an obvious error from the ref, it was a definitive choice absolutely allowed in the laws. AWJ should have told her to just GIRFUY. ETA: Glorious to see Farrell tell her to STFU as well.

Definition of a kick according to the laws Kick: An act made by intentionally hitting the ball with any part of the leg or foot, except the heel, from the toe to the knee but not including the knee. A kick must move the ball a visible distance out of the hand, or along the ground. I’d question the “kick” for the second try was intentional. If the ref decrees it was then it’s a try. After watching it many times and checking the definition I’d say knock on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Fair play to Farrell in that interview there. She was gunning for the clickbait but he told her to sit doon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's an absolutel fucking cretin, and always has been. A few years back, they went to her for a HT chat in one of the AIs when the All Blacks were on tour. She spent the entire allocated time giving her opinion on the match, and went back up to the studio without asking Sean fucking Fitzpatrick for his. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two examples given where a knock on is not awarded are a charge down and a rip. The ball is not knocked-on, and play continues, if: 5.A player knocks the ball forward immediately after an opponent hasa.kicked it (charge down).A player rips or knocks the ball from an opponent and the ball goes b.forward from the opponent’s hand or arm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I'm all aboard the Wales shithouse Grand slam tbh, its funny at this point. Never looking good but 3 wins and 2 bonus points from 3. Lethal back three and AWJ, Faletau, Tipuric and North just bringing the Gatland find a way to win mentality. I redact this if Scotland have a chance of a win in the last weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you legally kick it you haven’t knocked it on. The laws don’t explicitly say that because its obvious and covered under the definition of a kick. Charge downs and rips are totally different scenarios to what was being discussed. Those scenarios infringe the knock on because without the explicit definition you quoted then they would be knock ons. That is why they’re called out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 So, this weekend in a nutshell: Ireland won handsomely but you can't read too much into beating Italy. I mind Italy's glory days where the opposition had to be semi switched on to win in Rome. England's discipline was all over the place and Pascal Gauzere has a fleur de lis tattooed somewhere. Edinburgh lost at home to Scarlets. The Scarlets defence was air tight at the end. Cockerill's tactics of being hard buggers is fine but they're not winning enough games and there's no Plan B. Sonja Mclaughlin copped stick for trying to get Owen Farrell to maybe bitch about the ref. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
