Doesn't a tackle create an offside line?
Or just a gate?
Offside line.
I don't understand why they aren't in breach of 14.8c
8. Other players must : a. Remain on their feet and release the ball and the ball-carrier immediately. b. Remain on their feet when they play the ball. c. Arrive at the tackle from the direction of their own goal line before playing the ball. d. Not play the ball or attempt to tackle an opponent while on the ground near the tackle.I guess the purpose is to avoid an offside line being formed to get around law 14.10? I think it's very flimsy but if they take out the player before they are over the ball, there may not be an offside line?
Offside lines are created at a tackle when at least one player is on their feet and over the ball, which is on the ground. Each team ís offside line runs parallel to the goal line through the hindmost point of any player in the tackle or on their feet over the ball. If that point is on or behind the goal line, the offside line for that team is the goal line.@gt12 said in Rugby World Cup news:

Ireland already distracted, lording it up in Portugal with the rich and famous.

Because it's cheating and will get stopped. I expect this will be punished in future games.

Do you think the ABs are innovating at the moment? I haven't seen it, not for years

The short passing amongst the forwards this season has been great to watch - a wonderful change from the overdone pod system.

Did we pioneer pods? I thought we had - it's that kind of thing I'd liek to see us at the forefront of

Did we start using the cross kick from 10? I'm happy were not using it as much as we were last season....

I though Henry or Hansen bought a version of it back from the NH? Crusaders created one of the patterns (2-4-2 I think?)
Hard to imagine pods going away, maybe different splits?

Don't think too many other countries have cottoned on to our specialist left wing bench spot innovation yet.

You just wait until they replace ALB with DMac and have a 5-2 split, so that we finally achieve a whole backline of first fives and wings.
Edit: and still have a spare wing on the bench.

I can recommend the 10 nugget combo. Just haven't tasted it.

Another test for the judiciary. Owen thinks he's playing for Wigan, like his Dad. Apparently it's his first RC in a test match. The guy leads a charmed life clearly

Wow that’s a massive loss

France have decent enough back up options. Pretty sure also some guy called Stéphane Donaud.

Ntamack out. Farrell and Sexton banned. Cooper dropped. (Edit: Pollard under the old injury cloud). Curse of the 10s?
