To Bones :
The ball went clearly forward, IMO. But it fell on Zammit's leg, so could it be considered like a kick ?I'd say no because a kick has to be intentional.
Is there anything about intent in the laws? I don't think there is, so it makes no difference.
It's in the definition of what constitutes a kick.
Kick: An act made by intentionally hitting the ball with any part of the leg or foot, except the heel, from the toe to the knee but not including the knee. A kick must move the ball a visible distance out of the hand, or along the ground.
That's interesting. So, by that definition, I couldn't throw the ball over my shoulder and then kick it back over my head with my heel, regather and then score?
That very move has been done in a lower league game in England a few years ago. It's on youtube somewhere. A feller called Alan Knuckley if I recall. Good skills and pretty funny to watch.

Own can.

@catogrande Yeah I wrote that based on the BBC's coverage. Then I chatted to a couple of people, saw the more complete footage from Squidge Rugby a few days and changed my mind.

How can I now believe anything you say? To say I am devastated is understatement.
I need a safe space.

@catogrande I was thinking of setting up a Safe Space thread (if the Mods allowed me), but it sounds like even my Safe Space thread wouldn't be a Safe Space from me.

I think this tedious argument can be summed up as per below.
England can certainly feel hard done but not necessarily because they were shafted by the referee.
That's fair. They got a pretty rough deal in the lottery of life, being born English

@mikethesnow Thought Hill was very good when he came on against Poms.

I know... when you follow Wales for a few years you learn that teams that are far too strong for Italy (or Samoa or Fiji...) can still find a way to grind out a defeat
