[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 765162, member: 20605"] As soon as someone says that a pass is[I] "forward by X distance"[/I] I immediately know that they don't know what they are talking about, and that they don't understand how forward passes are judged. Watch this World Rugby video, then go look again at the Kaino try and [U]in particular[/U], look at the direction McCaw is facing when he makes the pass, and the direction the ball is thrown. Try to ignore the flight of the ball like referees do. [media=youtube]box08lq9ylg[/media] Even if the referee thinks it might be forward and refers it to the TMO, the TMO's instructions are very specific in the protocol [TEXTAREA]2. Potential infringement by the team touching the ball down in opposition in-goal 2.6 For forward passes the match officials must adjudicate on the direction of the ball leaving the hands.[/TEXTAREA] [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] BTW folks, the so-called citing of McCCaw is dead in the water. As I suspected, it was all just wishful thinking by England's gutter press. As this video shows, McCaw's elbow and Louw's head never come into contact...
