Anyone see the Leinster v Connacht match on Friday? The weather was pretty special and there was an incident which I'd never seen before. Leinster were...

Should it have been allowed? If the ball crosses the touchline and a player somehow manages to get the ball back in play, with the ball hitting the ground AND...
Glenn, It was a conversion not a penalty, therefore play can't "just continue". My understanding is that as long as it crosses the bar between the uprights,...
It was indeed a penalty. However the referee would appear to have interpreted it as Paul suggests. Any budding referees out there who have read the law book...

that's right (thought it was a conversion). I think it's still the same rule i.e. if it crosses the bar, it's a score. Of course, if the ball is blown back...
ya i was down at the match, that point which was awarded was a pretty mad score as it did actually go over the posts and blew back in the wind, first time i...
I saw that Paul and i thought the exact same thing. I'd love to know if you could get away with that. :) that's right (thought it was a conversion). ... ...
I saw it being done deliberately in the English league earlier this season and a scrum back was awarded. I'd wager that the team asked the referee in advance...

I would have thought that it should have been a scrum back. If i recall correctly the case in point was in the Ulster v Scarletts game and to be fair to Niall...
The decision to give the 22 out was the correct one, if the player touched the ball only when 'touching it down'. If he picked it up before touching it down...

Nothing like a good discussion on the laws to get things going. I've played in plenty of games where the ball sailed over the touchline but was blown back onto...
Colin, Funny enough, even though as far as I'm concerned, if the ball crosses the bar it's a score, I would nevertheless leave the ball "in play" if it crossed...
Having experienced life as a referee (and having current law book to hand) I can quote as follows: Law 9A etcetc. 2(b) KICK AT GOAL - SPECIAL CIRCS: If the...
The auld lad is a retired referee and there has been much discussion around the Leinster Branch as to the legality of Contepomi's penalty. It seems: * Once a...
Surely if the ball crosses between the posts, then the ball would be deemed to be dead ? Thus it wouldn't matter if the ball blew back into play as the next...
No great surprises I think. O'Connell is the talismanic figure of this pack and Jackman's inaccuracy at the lineout two games in a row was always likely to...

I don't think it was fair to drop O'Driscoll, especially as O'Connell had so little gametime. Bringing O'Connell on from the bench would have made more...
