The fuck? Surely intentionally doing that is a penalty?
SA purposefully ran in front of the kicker at kick off and only kicked it like 2m straight to the guy in front, to force a scrum.
Here's video of the incident:
Seriously, what the fuck was the point or that anyway? Clowns.

The Copium is real.
Lace bugs are real? No way!
Glad I got at least one bite, surprised anyone was sensitive enough to take that rancid bait seriously.
By the way, might wanna check the ABs v France score, I didn't suffer a loss

Yep, fair play. Genius stuff that.

But because they deliberately infringed 9.7(a) should apply.
That was exactly my thoughts, same deal as intentional knock on. Except quite a bit worse as it's so deliberate and obviously cooked up by the coach with the whole team involved.
Gives Rassie something to cry about when they do it next time and get penalised.

What they actually achieved was giving up a free kick from the scrum and thus conceding both territory and possession compared to contesting in the Italian half. It’s brilliant stuff….

@Snowy I assume they were.absolutely dealing to thier scrum, otherwise I can't see why.
Maybe Rassie thinks it is a.dumb rule and thought let's highlight it so WR change it now we used it....

No doubt they believed their own press, but they clearly don’t watch enough rugby to know that even a dominant scrum is no guarantee of possession.

It was the match kick off! Didn't see the game last week, so assumed they must have been absolutely annihilating the Italian scrum in that game.
It was pretty funny when you looked back at how pumped the players and Comms were, only to go nowhere and concede a FK.
The way they were carrying on you would've thought the Italian scrum was going to turn to dust.

Rassie coaching staff include an international ref. Paul Roos u19B coach surely would ticked all the boxes before trying it.
I know the South African translation of the WR Law consists solely and entirely of "Whatever Rassie says". But if you can find the clause in the law book that nullifies Law 9 FOUL PLAY, UNFAIR PLAY 7. A player must not a. Intentionally infringe any law of the game I'd be appreciative.

BTW have no issue with the "lineout" move. Just seems a little unnecessary to me.
I think the element of surprise was the biggest facror here. Plus it adds to the legend of Rassie the innovator even though it sounds like it was done by a school team
-
@booboo You cant blame us. We suffered for a very long time under coaches. The fact that Rassie and his coaches are prepared to scan u19C schools games for new ideas are remarkable. Luckily in South Africa all our main schools sport are covered by Super Schools, from u14A-u19H teams.
