@antipodean

It was like three in a row, wasn’t it? Why no more hitting the pocket? It’s clearly strategic.

@Bones

He has an unacceptable error rate. The odd competent play does not erase that

Swap ya for Li!

That's probably shit play because it's Pulu

How many mistakes does Collins have to make for you to stop fluffing him?

Haha fluffing. Haha really good one.

[antipodean]

Not a deliberate knock on? WTF is the clown smoking?

[Tim]

Collins!

[Machpants]

Collins fault he's so crap

[hydro11]

I'm okay with the outcome. Seems like a strange reasoning. Intent doesn't normally matter.

[Bones]

Seems fair here - otherwise we're gonna be penalising guys in the lineout when they try to tap it down but accidentally knock it on.

How can you be ok with the outcome?

[gt12]

Christ - look at Nonu with the mismatch if Collins has passed behind there.

[Tim]

@antipodean Fuck me. even TJ is shocked.

I don't really think deliberate knock ons should be penalties (generally). I would say it should have to be a slap down for a penalty - that isn't how it tends to be refereed though.

[hydro11]

He'll probably kick this.

It's not a deliberate knock on. How many penalties are we gonna have if we start penalising people for accidental knock ons?

[Kirwan]

God, can he get the kick?

That's the dumbest refereeing. Anyone who has played knows you can knock a ball up with no ability or intent to ever manage an intercept.

Close!

Intent does matter with "deliberate" knock on, Without assessing intent, how can you call deliberate or not?

Are you meaning if someone taps it forward but up? Shouldn't be a penalty? Oh yes it fucken should.
