I assume it's that bit of the law that forbids a player from throwing the ball over an opposing player's head, running round him and catching the ball himself.

see the other BOLD sentence.. "and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it" so u can throw the ball over the opponent's head, and run around to catch the ball before all those thing happen... like what BOD did... that is legal..

But don't the rules state that a knock-on or throw-forward must be unintentional? According to Rugby: A Player's Guide to the Laws by Derek Robinson (an ex-referee and author of The Laws in Plain English), "a pass involves two players. A throw forward does not. The law doesn't care what you are trying to do, or whether you have a team mate at the other end of it. If the ball leaves your hands and it's thrown forward, that's enough".
