[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 515882, member: 24910"] The point is Ellis [I]couldn't [/I]place the ball anywhere, as Kerr-Barlow illegally dives directly on the ball preventing him from releasing the ball. It is blatantly obvious on replay, yet I seem to be the only person who sees it... perhaps I need my eyes checked! Ellis is perfectly entitled to immediately place the ball in any direction once he has been tackled (including forwards over the try line), but he is clearly prevented from doing that by Kerr-Barlow - there is a pretty clear case for a penalty try if ever I've seen one! In any case there technically is no such things as 'double movement' in Rugby Union - once Ellis is tackled he needs to release the ball immediately. He is prevented from doing so by Kerr-Barlow, then driven over the line by a supporting player - I don't know of any law that states you can't be driven forwards while you are on the ground.....
