Surely if the ball goes ahead of where you are when you pass it that's forward, simple as that. Not that that's particularly relevant to those examples Frame of reference. If momentum wasn't taken into account then every pass would need to be played back a good distance (except when played out the ruck), which would be shite and kill the forward play imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just now, GAD said: Are you allowed to jump into a tackle like that? That is really borderline. You can dive for the line, and you can jump a tackle as long as you are not creating danger. If it is legal, and the Italian makes contact that stops him scoring, technically that's a penalty try for tackling him in the air... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Again while they're going to run up a big loss here, italy are doing some interesting stuff. They seem really determined over the first couple of games to get those easy off loads from carries when turned/on the floor up to varney/Garbisi, taking the breakdown out of the equation and putting a set attack against an unset defence. Worked for the try 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 May has been diving over tackles since he started playing internationals. He's never been pinged for it and he never will 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get the try from the interception there, but the reason Italy were so deep in the England half was because England aimlessly kicked it too them, didn't chase, looked surprised when they ran it back and didn't react till they'd carried it ,40 meters up the park unopposed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
