[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 951271, member: 56738"] I had a discussion about this topic a month or so ago as I had confused (misheard or forgotten aspects of the rule) and had to go googling to get a full understanding... as it turned out my understanding prior to getting confused through only hearing part of the rule during a commentary was pretty much right... and I’d assume that it would be the same for you UW. So the knock-on/Forward pass obviously doesn’t count when performing a drop-goal or charge down but is in operation at all other times. If a ball is accidentally ‘fumbled’ (struck against but not instantly caught) from anywhere above the knee and does not touch the ground before being regathered it’s fine. If a ball is fumbled but travels directly backwards (and does not subsequently travel forward through the awkward bounce of the rugby ball) it’s play on but... and this is where I’m using a logical assumption (which can be dangerous) if it was fumbled backwards but does subsequently travel forwards through the awkward bounce it would be called as a knock on.
