France’s version of a young BB.

@Billy-Tell Faster and plays on the wing. But apart from that exactly the same.

Yeah, BB never played on the wing ... and wasn't that quick...

Looked like a penalty try to me. That was a slap in a forward direction. Even if ball maybe went sideways. Think this score line puts NZs effort into perspective. The French fullback is having a very good game. Dupont too he’s making all the right decisions.
The ball went backwards a metre.
The referee explained why he made that decision. And it was pretty obvious on repay
Yep his reasons are clearly not in the laws of rugby. The law does not mention hand direction. You must intentionally knock the ball forward to be penalised and he did not knock the ball forward. It must be intentional and it must be knocked forward. Two components need to be satisfied which weren't.
You don't have to knock on to be penalised for deliberately knocking the ball out of play.
He didn't delibrately knock the ball out of play.
Of course he did. His own body language afterwards showed that.
He knocked the ball backwards and then it bounced to the side.
His action was forwards and towards the sideline. That much is obvious. In doing so he's violated law 7 b.
.... but the ball went backwards... he gave a penalty try and yellow card for something that didn't happen, and after watching a reply of it not happening. What little chance Argentina had was ruined by an obviously wrong call.
I'm not up on all the rules, but I would of thought a knock on is dependent on the ball going forward.
Serious question, does the ball have to go forward to be a knock on. Is there a circumstance when it can be a knock on if the ball goes backwards? -
I was baffled by that decision, didn’t realise momentum rule applies to knock ons - seems ridiculous to me. Ball definitely went backwards, would be interesting to see what would have been given were the players reversed, I think it would have been a knock on by France - how could it be a knock on in both scenarios?!

I guess it's one of those things I'll never understand.
Just like when I just miss a call from the wife, and when I dial back immediately she's nowhere near the phone... -

Cmon he’s Bielle-Biarrey not Jielle-Riarrey. Like I said he’s France’s BB.
