[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 670429, member: 20605"] This is another decision that I thought he got wrong. This looks like a charge-down to me. I was taught the key to assessing a charge down is; [I]"did the opponent try to block the kick before or as it was made, or did he react to the kick after it was made?"[/I] [I]Before/As = charge down After = knock forward[/I] In this case, the Pumas player clearly has his arms up to block the kick [B]before[/B] its made. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98915197/RugbyRefs/chargeorknock.jpg[/IMG] For mine, that is a charge down all day long. There is no way that the Pumas player was trying to catch the ball, so if the referee decides this was a knock-on, then it can only be intentional, therefore a penalty. At the very least, he should have gone to the TMO. [/QUOTE]
