[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 951277, member: 65365"] Not to mention friction/ air resistance. Thanks. This helped me unlock the biggest secret of all: the knock on and forward pass appear in the definitions section. Heheh I should have taken the hint from the thread ***le “....un[B]defined[/B]?” and looked for a definitions section. [URL='https://laws.worldrugby.org/?search=Knock-on'][B]Knock-on: [/B][/URL]When a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it. I would still suggest the implication here is that the ball goes forward before it either hits the ground or another player, not after. [URL='https://laws.worldrugby.org/?search=Throw%20forward'][B]Throw forward: [/B][/URL]When a player throws or passes the ball forward i.e. if the arms of the player passing the ball move forward. And this specifically excludes cases where a backwards pass hits the ground and then bounces forward. Yet refs tend to call that a forward pass . [/QUOTE]
