@Bones Snowy and incorrect law interpretations are the bane of the game.
Ha, ha. You going to the world cup as a ref? Paul Williams is.

Your one example of a ref making a mistake isn't exactly going to change the world of reffing fella. Nor going to stop guys charging when the kicker starts to move, which is good.
-
Made me think, has anyone on here charged down a conversion orbeen charged down?
In a real game with appointed refs?
Videos of charge downs?
I can't remember any real time. Can remember sprinting like a mad man hundreds of times though.
The days before tees it was on if the ball fell over
It's a rare anomaly, the conversion charge down. Surprised it's still a thing - but don't want it to go away
-
@Siam seen it plenty. More often you might get a slight deflection, or at least apply pressure on the kicker. I'm actually very surprised you don't think you've seen it...
Edit: of course I've no comment on the direction of Mehrts first step of his kicking routine...
-
Now that the topic is dead; any kicker that pauses and then makes a movement should be considered addressing the ball. They'd quickly adjust.
-
@Bones I'm old
I remember finger tips or stretched hands deflections, but only too close in front. I remember a fingertip before the ball went over and through, and the ref and all having a bit of a talk about it - no 2 points. Perhaps a few spastic kicks that weren't going over anyway?
Now my brain is trying to fill the gaps with imaginations but I still can't remember toooo many. say 4 or 5. I don't think I played enough adult rugby seasons either.
But yeah, I'd forgotten about the pressure bit, and I always kicked!
i can't remember shit, Bones.
Have you got any yourself with those skinny white wheels?

This is the main reason for it I would think.

@Siam I posted up a vid of one ya plonker! You don't need to remember...
By the way, the ref in your story got it wrong.
That's the current law. I have a feeling it was changed though.

Cheers for that fella,
I'm just watching the first half at the moment. The analysis doesn't cover what a steaming pile of shit Nic White's pass is. Slow, bobbly, loopy - seems designed to allow Boks to run up and smash players. It's horrific. Should come with an R rating.

Haha and on the roar, he got the highest fan rating at 9/10 I think
Christ ona bike, really? Did you watch - am I missing something in the second half?
