    @damo I'm glad I'm not the only one who for some bizarre reason doesn't know that pretty important part of the laws. Be an interesting way to try and catch a defence out too if you're the attacking side, inside backs rush up to get the oppo to rush too, then quickly retreat and see if you can get a pen for them being offside.

    I can't imagine too many refs would award a PK in that case where it's just a clear offside trap. Equity trumps law amongst most rugby refs. I.E. teams that go looking to hoodwink the other team and the ref don't often prosper.

    I think the main use these days is for defensive lineouts on the 5m line. If you thrown the ball long the defensive players only need to go 5m whereas the attacking players are back 10m. It is quite an effective tactic to win the ball under no pressure.

    Tony Brown has run a lot of attacking moves with a long throw during his time coaching Otago, the Highlanders and for Japan.

      @mariner4life I thought I got schooled on here a year or two ago that you can go as soon as it's thrown if you're the receiver? Something like that.

      I would need to see that in the laws

      Yeah I've got no idea but I made a similar call as you and I think it was @Damo who informed me I was a stupido.

      I don't think I'm making that up. The laws seem to point to what you're saying on a quick glance though.

      Estupido, as I recall. I remember being grumpy about people not knowing what I considered a basic law. Apologies.

      You can run as soon as the ball leaves the throwers hands. If the ball doesn't go over the 15m you are offside though.

      That law hasn't changed since I first became a ref, some 22 years ago. If you think about it, that has to be the way, otherwise the player in the backline would never be up fast enough to catch the ball.

      Law 18.36

      Once the ball has been thrown in by a team-mate, players who are not
      participating in the lineout may move forward. If that occurs, then their
      opponents may also move forward. If the ball does not go beyond the 15-metre
      line, the players will not be liable to sanction if they immediately retire to their
      respective offside lines.

          On that basis there should be a lot more refs around!

                @stargazer That is a lovely note from Stander. Good on him.

                Wonder if the prospect of playing for the Lions against SA was too much for him. He's clearly died in the wool Sith Ifrican who took a job playing for Ireland.

                  He says he's available for international duty until the end of the mid year test window... sounds like he's keen to go out after playing for the Lions

                        @mikethesnow That's going to be some battle of the back rows. Pretty evenly matched. I think the key will be how the French half-backs go, it's the only area where I feel they have a distinct edge over your boys, though Jallibert in particular can be a bit hot and cold.

                        Should be a good match.

                            England team to face Ireland in Dublin.

                            England: Malins; Watson, Daly, Farrell (capt), May; Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, Cowan-Dickie, Sinckler, Itoje, Ewels, Wilson, Curry, B Vunipola.

                            Replacements: George, Genge, Stuart, Hill, Earl, Robson, Lawrence, Marchant.

                            I am more and more convinced that Eddie was touring over here back in early 1992 and fathered an out of wedlock son. His mother decided to call him Elliot and told him tales of his rugby playing father which made him determined to become a rugby player himself.

                            Poor young Odogwu, brought into the squad on the back of some outsanding performances in the Premiership. Slade gets injured so Odogwu gets his chance. No wait, we'll slot an out of form full back in there instead. Well at least he'll be on the bench and get his chance I hear you say. But no, we will bring in someone from outside the squad to fill that position. Watch Odogwu declare for Italy and carve up against us in the years to come.

                            Other than that, not much to complain about, though I might have had Earl starting in the place of Wilson who seems short of a gallop.
