Force vs Rebels

[TRF_Olyy]

Lovely try just then

Rebels had a penalty a few metres out, pointed for touch, and Cipriani crossfield kicked to the winger and he got a try - Force didn't know what was going on, was superb

Nice win for the Rebs in the end...

Is that allowed?

cips had a shocking first 20 then a cracking remainder. lipman's their best player by quite a way...

Cannae believe I missed this game, seems like it was a cracker

 

[monkeypigeon]

Rebels ruin my accumulator nearly every week.

We are not amused.

With this win it looks like I am still on for a second 7 out of 7-winners predictions in a row

Their scrumhalf is quite good and their lock Pyle deserved MOTM today...

If there is a way to lose to the Rebels, we certainly discovered it today. (unforced errors, weak tries, hospital passes)

The Rebels backline is coming together well, good to see Mortlock in some form looking at the Wallabies set up.

We should of demolished the Rebels at the breakdown but it just didn't happen, Pocock's return couldn't come any sooner.

rigged.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is that allowed?

Yup,
He kicked the ball - that's all he said he wanted to do. It's technically just a "punt" as the penalty option, it's just that 99.9999999999999999999999999999999% of the time they'll opt for touch - this time he didn't

It's kicks for goal that can't be crossfields (on purpose)

 

[TNT88]

It's allowed until they opt to kick for goal. In this case they opted to tap or punt (i think) so it was allowed.

As far as i'm concerned, it is the wingers job to keep an eye on his side and call players out if necessary. I hope the wingers get a good reminder during the week, or 99 lashes.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The penalty was just to the right of the posts, so I think Cipriani pointed to right touchline, everyone started to move across and he booted it to the left and winger collected and was tacked over the line for the try - sneaky play, and could've gone very wrong if it'd gone to a force player - but was quality because it came off

 

[TRF_Cymro]

The yellow card of Mark Gerrard was weak, the touch judge got it clearly wrong and should be punished for it.

Regarding the Limpan best player, Delve and Cirpiani have also been very good for them as well as the winger and scrum half. Rebels starting to click but are starting to slowly in games. Have not scored a try in the first 20 mins of rugby yet :lol:

 

[smartcooky]

Is that allowed?

Yep. The only thing you can't to is indicate posts then kick somewhere else. If you indicate posts, you MUST kick at posts.

In fact, you don't even have to indicate any other type of kick, e.g. tap kick, up & under, touch-finder.

Of course, you have to tell the referee if you decide to take the scrum option.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Thanks for the explanation.

[TRF_Cymro]

Great vision.

I've seen it at least three times now but it's still beautiful every time. Cipriani's developing like I hoped so with luck he'll be in the no. 10 shirt for England come 2015 :lol:

It's good to see the Rebels coming on though, it was unfortunate that James O'Connor missed that last penalty but it was a close game and frankly I would've been disappointed if the Rebels lost just because of the crossfield and the interception.
