The current interpretation seema to be if the player loses the ball forward and fails to regain control of it before it touches the ground then it is a knock on regardless of the final direction of travel. The law should be clarified.rumncoke wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 11:42 am My consideration of the "knock-on is similar to the above ' assume a player taps the ball forward with his hand juggles and then plays the ball backwards with his hand ,before it touches the ground is it a knock on --- ie to be a knock on the ball must continue to go forward before it touches the ground if going backwards it is not a knock-on regardless of non control .
A further example would be the full back catching a ball fails to do so cleanly but the ball goes backwards not forwards it is not a knock but he hasn't control of the ball.
ie the it is the direction of the ball is heading before it touches the ground defines the knock on or forward pass.

Re: SIX NATIONS 2021
The only game I'll be watching this weekend is the France v England match.

Re: SIX NATIONS 2021
It can be a bit much watching the Leinster rejects and the Saffer/Kiwi rejects in the one weekend.

Great find
Re: SIX NATIONS 2021
Wow - team announced over an hour ago and not one comment on it.
Shows how much interest there is.

Re: SIX NATIONS 2021
Watching Leinster and Munster tonight, there does seem to be a hell of a crop of young players on the way.
Not to mention the ones we know are at Ulster.

Maybe some have a Kiwi/Safer granny and perhaps could play for Ireland.

Wales 15 - 0 up after 15 minutes.
No competition which to watch... while doing a 2,000 piece jigsaw. As sad a Saturday afternoon as I can think of.

Re: SIX NATIONS 2021
GB win 2 - 1.
Well, I've given it a try but that's probably enough. Matches are interesting when my daughters are playing (not internationals sadly) but in itself, hockey's not a game for the uninitiated. Having said that, still more interesting than watching Wales thump Italy.
By the way, I'll never complain again about poor commentary from Robbo. This was grim.

Re: SIX NATIONS 2021
England France first half at an incredibly high standard, far more exciting than Ireland's 'gameplan'.
