England vs Australia - 09/11/24

I'm going to hate that rule. Why make the game more complicated and less entertaining?
I don't like the rule but I do think I've seen some recently where a player has lost control of the ball and then fallen on it to score. Why not go back to just being in control?

Wait, is there a new law/interpretation?
Are you saying that TMO was right to question the left hand, despite the ball being held firmly between right arm and body?
WTF?

Basically the player has to have at least one hand on the ball when scoring. Forearm for example is not enough.
 
Hand has to be touching when it's grounded.
Why?
When?

Ridiculous.

ETA: cheers for the explanation though guys. Presumably TNT are/were talking about it.
I'm watching Stan, and they made no mention whatsoever, except hoping it would be disallowed but not expecting it.
 
Dunno. I can understand the issue when some players drop the ball and score with their body. However, hand touching the ball seems extreme.
I can't.
If you drop the ball, then it's a knock on, not then scored with the body.
