    What a screwed up rule .. so someone in the crowd can hold the ball until the goal kickers time has lapsed…another bizarre rule 🤦🏻

    Like MP says, if players don't know the rule, they're bloody stupid. Never understood why players ditch the ball after that law was brought in.

      Do you have to use the same ball that the try was scored with to kick the conversion?

                  Can remember a league test in Palmerston North where the ball went missing for about 3 or 4 minutes ..

                    Didn't read your post above. Makes sense why they have to use the same ball. I was wondering what the point of that rule was

                      He's well low. Rugby incident. Play on, penalty at best.

                                  I don't like that reasoning, the answer is not make a dangerous tackle. However if a guy nearly falling over is considered upright then there's something wrong.

                                    The Force kicker looks a bit 'special' when he kicks for goal.

                                      @Mattasaurus If you arent in a position to make a safe tackle you don't make a tackle, obviously.

                                        @Bones I also dont like that it is called 'foul play'

                                        To me, foul indicates dirty play

                                          @Bones I also dont like that it is called 'foul play'

                                          To me, foul indicates dirty play

                                          High tackles were pretty dirty in my day 😁
