I'm sure they said on commentary at the time that you're allowed to do it if you're diving for the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Owens has said he would have given a Penalty, along the lines that the first movement was jumping the tackle. I can’t say I’m a big enough rugby fan to know the laws around it, however my first instinct was it’s a jump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 It's a difficult one. I've looked at the laws, and I can't see anything that specifically refers to jumping to avoid a tackle. I'm not saying that it isn't there, but I certainly can't see it. https://resources.world.rugby/worldrugby/document/2021/02/11/863340f3-2a8a-4cdd-bad2-c6b659add069/World-Rugby-Laws-2021-EN-v2.pdf There's Law 9.11 - 'Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others.' This seems to be the law that some are citing for the try to be disallowed. For me, jumping to avoid a tackle is obviously dangerous in principle, not just because of the potential contact with the tackler, but also the risk of the carrier landing on their head or neck. That said, I think it's something that World Rugby will need to address and include in the law book. Owens has tweeted that it was a directive given from World Rugby to all refs in advance of the 2017 season. I'm absolutely not saying that he's making that up, why would he? BUT it hasn't been published as far as I can see. That's a problem. Apart from anything else, it's not good for the game. Loads of casual viewers watch the Six Nations and it does nothing for rugby union's image when the laws are anything but clear on contentious issues like this. Luckily it didn't happen in a tight game and nobody was hurt, but it definitely needs to be clarified for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted February 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I'd like it the football players were meant to throw in from where the ball went out. The rugby linesmen seem to enforce it. The football linesmen just move away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 To lose 16 unanswered points in the final 20 mins, you don't deserve to win a test match. Still averaging 10+ penalties a game, the discipline has been shocking for a number of years now. Martin Johnson had it right, if you're going to compete and affect the game, affect it for the right reasons. Lack of on pitch leadership. And quite how 5 Saracens players get picked when they're not even playing, baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Brilliant by England, such intensity to match the French, shame it wasn't part of the gameplan against Scotland and Wales. Much better discipline, hugely improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best game of the 6N They might be a team packed full of talent but in that 2nd half they didn't threaten the England line with ball in hand once. They didn't do enough, you could see that from the disappointment of the face of the coach, but it's testament to England's defence and willingness to front up and match the French stride for stride, pass for pass. Agreed, it was a cracking game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Great win for us. Beirne should have been MOTM but everyone played well today. Made up for CJ to go out on that note. Only frustrating thing is that we've been puke for 3 years. We have a decent squad and that performance needs to be the standard now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
