Putting the ball up the jumper

    Just watching highlights of Georgia v Spain, and one of the Georgian players pulled the shirt off a Spanish player, and wrapped the ball in it (not sure if it was accidental or what!) but they played on and I think nearly scored a try with the ball wrapped in a Spanish jersey!

    Hilarious stuff, but is this legal!?

    Probably accidental offside. ;-)

    If the ball was wrapped then a try could not be scored as the ball must come in contact with the ground.

    Saw this as well. Looked very suspicious. Especially since the narrator said something along the lines of "Georgia had something planned to get back at the Spanish" just as you saw it happen. It also looked as if he took the shirt off the player on purpose.

    Cannot see this being legal if done on purpose.

    Sorry, I lost the remote of my HDD recorder and the buttons aren't on the thing itself! Annoying... but in case it's repeated it was on "Total Rugby" on sky sports...

    And yeah I was wondering would the ball be considered to be "held up" by the spanish jersey!

    It does show the ball wrapped in the jersey being passed to another player ... can't understand why it was done ... :confused:

    Does anyone remember the "Up the jumper" tap move. I think it was used in the 70's and remember aussie scoring from it. You formed a wall and tapped the ball the player in the wall who received the ball shoved it up his jumper to confuse the defenders. It is now illegal.

    Very strange vid. Wonder if it's some kind of a bondage fetish. Did Georgia win
