:thumbup: ThanKs so much for this! You're welcome, mate. The take on the whole thing was that, with the ball in fair contest at the scrum: 1. The attacking side has to focus on getting it instead of going for the PK (which is what they do now, as the ball is in their posession as soon as it's fed)....

It was me, a few years ago in Buenos Aires. Enforcing a straight feed made ahuge amount of difference. Reduced the penalizations and increased the number of scrums that ended up with the ball in play. Don't have the official documents on the results, but every part involved (players, coaches and re...

Yep, freezing the borders where at the current Russian occupancy will not solve anything expect giving Russia a respite to rest and rearm. It would not; but for clarity's sake, I was referring to the borders pre annexation of Crimea and invasion of the eastern oblasts. Of course kicking the can dow...

rumour is Uruguay. That would be easy to set up, but pretty pointless as a fixture... we play them every year in the South American Championship, and play their franchise in the Super Rugby Americas as well. I'd rather have a Pacific Islands team, or Georgia, which aren't such regular fixtures. Mea...

Scrum feeds are mostly straight now. Presume you mean straight down the centre of the tunnel? Feeds are straight in the form of a bullet straight into the feet of the locks... I meant straight through the middle of the tunnel. The laws don't ask for that though? Just the 9 to have a shoulder inline...

Puma

Which is all well and good, but it's a way to restart the game after a technical infringement and it can result of 5 minutes of the ball not coming back into play, and often end in a penalty anyway. And leaving aside it's nuts to go from a technical infringement to a shot at goal the sheer amount o...

Merry Christmas, or whatever the festivity you celebrate. This place can be wild, but it's a nice corner of the world to meet friends.

I hope you all have the fortune of spending a good evening with your loved ones.

Japanese long term goals to take back Sakhalin and the Kuril islands? Sakhalin no, Kurils yes. From what Japan has stated. Depending more on the status of the rest of Asia though. That’s more the point here. As important as the ramp up in defense spending has been in Japan though is the amount of i...

On the women's side, Australia edged past France 29-26. They had a comfortable lead, but a red card jeopardised it and France got close in the end. On the men's side it was all one way traffic. Argentina beat Aus 45-12. Arg were up 28-0 at halftime, with a very powerful display including no missed t...

Hard to understand why they chose to kick into touch and finish the match when they had the last posession against Fiji and needed a score to advance into the QFs.

"7. Tackled players must immediately" Do we agree he wasn't tackled? Of course. He wasn't tackled. Edit: And you know what? You've made me think about the entire action again and I think you're right. What the SA player actually did was getting up with the ball as he was entitled to (not being tack...

Quoting the bit of the law and fitting it to this situation then... 1. Player went to the ground with the ball and b. played the ball, by rolling and scoring a try. IF you really slow the move down his eye are on the line inches from the line, but momentum is driving him into the ground. There is n...

:thumbup: Totally agree with Puma I still dont lol. From that rule 13 bit, 1. Players, who go to ground to gather the ball or who go to ground with the ball , must immediately: a. Get up with the ball; or b. Play (but not kick) the ball; or c. Release the ball. He could either play or release. He d...

Puma

That then opens up a situation where a player can commando crawl to the line without ever releasing the ball and regathering or at least getting back on his feet again as long as he wasn’t tackled. That surely can’t be right? 13 Players on the ground in open play Principle The game is played only b...

I think it's a bit rough that North America get a crack before South America. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Pure and simple. I think the Argentinians on here don't want it because the economy needs other things than a RWC. We seem to be heading for another crisis, and quite fast... I'd love to have a RWC d...

Yes on second viewing he wasn’t tackled. However, he’s done an extra roll. That’s not momentum. That’s an extra roll. I made the assumption that if you fall over you don't have to release. That then opens up a situation where a player can commando crawl to the line without ever releasing the ball a...

That will sell out in a minute

The same fixture ended in a 25-25 draw back in 2005... but how close this time is, will depend on whether the clubs release their players.

AUS won the Women's final.

SA got the Men's 12-7 after being 12-0 at halftime. Both defenses forcing errors on the other team, in the end SA was more precise in their execution and held on to win, in a match that could've gone either way.
