[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 951323, member: 13739"] And how exactly would that be fair on the players? Bugger referees and fans for the minute, the most important part of rugby is the players, especially at community level. So why would it be fair to complicate such a fundamental aspect as passing? If you're a player running with the ball, surely if a teammate is running alongside, but behind, they are free to pass to? You wouldn't want to first have to stop, consider your velocity and the distance between you and your teammate in order to calculate if said teammate is far enough behind to compensate! The actual maths behind the physics is probably quite complicated including allowing for wind speed/direction etc. But the concept is a basic physics one. The alternative is far more complicated.
