Question please. May have been addressed.
Wat is the ruling when Conway scored when he grounded short then rolled it forward?
My feeling is that he lost possession and propelled it forward so should be a knock on.
Is there a ruling/interpretation/law that defines this that I'm not aware of?
Thanks
TMO said he never lost control and slid over the line.
I didn't have a problem with it.
I'm not sure if I had a problem with it or not. Just had me querying what the ruling is.
If "control" is the measure there's an argument he did lose control.
Happy to take it if my team scored it. Would whinge against.
Control is nothing, he meant he never knocked it on, his hand never left the ball, so that's fine
I don't want to make a thing cause I'm not that invested (honest), but I felt his hand did leave the ball as it was rolling on his wrist.
Ok, well if that happened then it's a knock on. But TMO didn't think it happened, I didn't either but I wasn't really scrutinizing.

Ireland's first try: Kiwi - Irish - Irish - Aussie - Kiwi.

My points
- I was on to say Wales were lucky to get nil, but they lucked in to get 7
They were poor to the point of amateur, Ireland utterly dominated and yet couldn't score 30 points.
- Wales rucks like amateur era, committing half a dozen (ineffective) players. Worst ruck work I've seen in a long time.
- Wales rushing up outside player on defence was so badly done, it just made gaps not pressure.
Particularly when their
midgethalfback is taking the position of post at rucks and then doesn't come up with the defensive line leaving a massive gap for the inside pass to exploit.- How the fuck is Gibson-Park on an international team, he's rubbish. Where are Ireland's young nines?

I can't believe there is a world shortage of snappy, aggro little men with some Irish blood and a chip on the shoulder.

The Irish forwards are really impressive, both with their strong carries which made them systematically win the advantage line and with their clever organization in the rucks (did Wales win a turnover ?). I fear for their AB counterparts in June.
Don't worry, Ian Foster will be the coach.

They were, but against a better ref they’ll be pinged all afternoon for being off their feet and taking men out well off the ball

Yeah it did but all the ball had to do was touch one bit of white paint beforehand, which I think it quite conclusively did.

29-0 with 20 minutes to go. Wales making it too easy for Ireland to score.
This could get very, very ugly.
Commentator’s curse!

Losing control is a red herring. If pass not thrown forward, that is touches another player or ground after leaving possession, all that matters is that downward pressure is applied once on or beyond goal line.

Wales backline defensive alignment woeful. Some nice passing for Ringrose try.

Things might be getting tougher for Wales before they get better considering their Under 20s got flogged 53 - 05 by the Paddies as well

I can't believe there is a world shortage of snappy, aggro little men with some Irish blood and a chip on the shoulder.
Pretty clear to me that you and a few other morons on here are the ones with the chip on the shoulder.

Alright, look whose turned up then!
Interesting that you've played the man on the shoulder chip comment, not the Irish blood.
As clearly according to the IRFU recruiting policy, there is no need for that.

If you're upset I'm biased against halfbacks, I can't help ya, cos I am.
If you're upset I was implying there is a huge number of people around the world claiming Irish blood, I was,

You need to view this place a bit like a pub. It's a public place but there are a lot of private conversations that can be overheard quite easily, usually with a lot of banter going on between people who have known each other for a long time. Like in a pub you can always walk away if you don't like the banter.
Or you could get pissed and take exception...

Absolutely spot on. The shit said behind Catogrande's back is off the scale.
Ireland - Wales 53:5
