[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1222803, member: 72205"] I did soo much analysis on that one looking at the angles. The issue essentially stems from does it touch another part of his body before his shin (I think it did but its definitely contentious). Backwards out of the hands or not doesn't matter in this case as its not following forward pass laws and thus has gone forwards from where the ball started after he lost control (we don't take into account conservation of momentum for knock ons). So essentially if hits his shin first kick good try. If its hits another part of his leg (I think its his his thigh if memory serves me correctly) its a knock on and bad try. The other part of the game with referee starting play whilst players were huddled led to a protocol clarification that the ref must clarify with the defending side that he is putting time back on if he has declared time off. (This use to be unwritten but said ref had done it twice to England). [/QUOTE]
