    Law 12.8(d):
    “If the kicker's team is not behind the ball when it is kicked, a free-kick is awarded to the opposing team at the centre of the half-way line.”

    So the ref cocked up and it should have been a free kick at least?

    I'm pretty sure the drafting of the Law assumes the transgression is unintentional.

    Will have to check out Laws around intentional transgression of the Laws.

      A bit of waffle in the preamble to the Law book:

      SPIRIT
      Rugby owes much of its appeal to the fact that it is played both to the letter and
      within the spirit of the laws. The responsibility for ensuring that this happens lies not with one individual - it involves coaches, captains, players and referees.

        @booboo welcome to professionalism.

        Rassie is innovative and seeks any advantage within the laws. It isn’t what I call within the spirit of the game. But that is a throwback to the amateur era.

        Winning is all that counts now. Any which way.

              @booboo sanction at a kick off is a scrum to the opposition. Rassie will have done his homework.

              It isn’t a penalty or a FK. Look how fast the SA props arrived for the scrum. They knew.

                The ball must reach the 10-metre line.
                Sanction:The non-kicking team has the option of the kick being retaken or a scrum.

                But 12.5 applies as it's the first offence?

                When the ball is kicked:

                a. Team-mates of the kicker must be behind the ball.
                Sanction:Scrum.

                  If the ruling under 12.5(a) was correct I'd agree.

                  But because they deliberately infringed 9.7(a) should apply.

                  UNFAIR PLAY
                  7. A player must not:
                  a. Intentionally infringe any law of the game.
                  b. Intentionally knock, place, push or throw the ball with arm or hand from
                  the playing area.
                  c. Do anything that may lead the match officials to consider that an opponent has committed an infringement.
                  Sanction: Penalty

                  Agree about the FK though: I was quoting @PN but am not sure where he got his law from(12.8(d) is quick throw)? Is that maybe a SVNS variant?

                    A smart coach would point the cynicism of the play to whoever runs the refs, to WR, and go on record in the media to pressure refs to see it their way in future. Even if you weren't involved in the game

                      I suspect (hope) there'll be clarification at WR level.

                                By the way, might wanna check the ABs v France score, I didn't suffer a loss 😉

                                    @booboo sanction at a kick off is a scrum to the opposition. Rassie will have done his homework.

                                    It isn’t a penalty or a FK. Look how fast the SA props arrived for the scrum. They knew.

                                    If the ruling under 12.5(a) was correct I'd agree.

                                    But because they deliberately infringed 9.7(a) should apply.

                                    UNFAIR PLAY
                                    7. A player must not:
                                    a. Intentionally infringe any law of the game.
                                    b. Intentionally knock, place, push or throw the ball with arm or hand from
                                    the playing area.
                                    c. Do anything that may lead the match officials to consider that an opponent has committed an infringement.
                                    Sanction: Penalty

                                    Agree about the FK though: I was quoting @PN but am not sure where he got his law from(12.8(d) is quick throw)? Is that maybe a SVNS variant?

                                    That was exactly my thoughts, same deal as intentional knock on. Except quite a bit worse as it's so deliberate and obviously cooked up by the coach with the whole team involved.

                                    Gives Rassie something to cry about when they do it next time and get penalised.

                                      Exactly that thought occurred.

                                        As I mentioned above, rulings and interpretations are constantly being reviewed and clarified.

                                        I fully expected the appropriate branches of the WR bureaucracy to clarify the fuck out of that one.

                                          What they actually achieved was giving up a free kick from the scrum and thus conceding both territory and possession compared to contesting in the Italian half. It’s brilliant stuff….
