    I see no mention of “gathering”, “regathering” or “control” in any rule that I have read.
    I think this comes from discussions on tries being scored and whether there is a knock-on or not. And that discussion usually centres around control of the ball. So people associate control of the ball with knock-ons rather than tries. There is no mention of control of the ball in relation to knock-ons in the laws of the game that I can find.

    Law 11.2:
    "It is a knock-on when a player, in tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent,
    makes contact with the ball and the ball goes forward. Sanction: Scrum (if the
    ball goes into touch, the non-offending team may opt instead for a quick-throw
    or lineout).

    True but surely there must be an attempt to kick the ball in the current situation

    If you can find the phrase "attempt to kick the ball" in the laws, fair play.

    Oops. Farrell didn't get the 3 points there. That 2nd Wales try might give him a knock in his confidence.

    Example? I've seen players knock the ball forward off the hand, catch it with their foot for a kick and it wasn't a knock on.

    I've never seen that not called a knock on.

    Why is hitting the leg the equivalent of hitting the ground? Surely that means every kick would be a knock on, no?

    Kick is excluded because of intention.

    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

    That’s great thinking to tap and go. Very well played.

    I dont know what to tell you, I've seen it not called a knock on. I disagree, but I also want to watch this game, so I'm going to leave it there.

    Well that's fair enough - pretty clear. I don't agree that was a knock on, though. Now let me watch the rest of the game.

    The ball hitting below the knee and above the neck is not a knock on either. Doesn't have to be a kick. Jacob Stockdale scored a try in the 6N after the ball clipped his shin.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭RugbyLover123


    Forget the tries, the ref allowing Wales’ 9 about 7 seconds at every ruck is awful

    You don't agree with the clearly defined laws?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,543 ✭✭✭A2LUE42


    I see no mention of “gathering”, “regathering” or “control” in any rule that I have read.

    What are these 'rules' you speak of?
    We were always told that Rugby had laws, not rules, and as such were open to interpretation.

    You made that bit up because 'laws' didn't you? :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,042 ✭✭✭Carfacemandog


    You're half right.

    Ah come on now, Wales are so good you'd almost swear they've got 16 men out there in every game so far.

    I think you've interpreted that slightly wrong. Read as:

    Kick: An act made by intentionally hitting the ball with any part of the leg or foot,
    except the heel (i.e. 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.

    You're interpretation of that sentence would also rule out the toe and entire foot.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,498 ✭✭✭Paul Smeenus


    You don't agree with the clearly defined laws?

    No, I don't agree with the interpretation. Like the actual ref.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭theVersatile


    No, I don't agree with the interpretation. Like the actual ref.

    Fair enough that you disagree with how it's interpreted as long as you also recognise that the decision is inherently incorrect. All g.

    Per your wishes, we shall leaves this aside an attempt to enjoy the remaining 25 minutes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Did someone in the Welsh 8 just shout “hands in the ruck?” At that scrum.

    What???


    I'm literally quoting the laws on knock-ons. Nothing to do with kicks. It's not a knock on if the ball strikes above the neck or below the knee. You can head the ball forward and clip it forward with any part of your leg below the knee. Including your toes.

    And this is the definition of a knock on from World Rugby:
    Knock-on: When a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it.

    Ah apologies - I get your point now, sort of. The point still applies that he lost possession forward and did not regain control. The knock on was with his hand not his leg? And per the bit you have bolded, he never caught it after losing possession forward therefore its a knock on.

    Interesting finish coming!

    England are going to be level, despite the first half's refereeing? Back into the game?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,536 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    Farrell is now at 1,001 points.

    You're missing the bit where it's not a knock on until it hits the ground or another player. So the interpretation that the ball last touched his leg before the ground/other player and went backwards from his leg, fits that scenario.
