    Why comment on any aspect of the game? Think you need to learn the difference between complaining and commenting, while you’re looking up those words, check out hypocrisy too ;)






    Look at any match thread, you could have 200 post....maybe 60% will be about the ref, nothing about the player. Just the ref.



    It is so boring. Pages and pages of cr*p, all about 1 person when their is 30 other people on the field.



    Maybe for this forum all discussion about ref during match's should be banned. Or even discouraged.



    On the point of not going to the TMO. Every other days fans are booing and complaining when refs are constantly going to the TMO when they can see the try scored.



    Another case of the whiny Irish fan syndrome.

    It looks like his hand loses the ball in mid air and then gathers it again before grounding it. Which is technically a knock on. It was right in front of me in the RDS.

    Been offline a few days and only saw this now. This is incorrect. If the ball doesn't touch the ground or another player before being regathered, it is not a knock-on. It is not "technically" anything. The player retains possession until another player touches it, or it hits the ground. End of.
    Luke Fitz on commentary was claiming it was a knock-on, then on the final replay angle he saw the hand with downward pressure and said it was a try.

    This is not clear cut and not always true, its just generally allowed as play on

    Zzippy has correctly defined a knock-on. What bit isn't clear?

    You can't knock the ball forward and regather it and be guaranteed of it not being called a knock-on, for fairly obvious reasons

    Whatever these obvious reasons are they don't apply here. Zzippy correctly defined a knock-on, troyzer was not correct.

    That's why I said it's not always true and didn't say Zzippy was incorrect in this scenario. :confused:
