@Snowy if your approach to kick includes steps in the opposite direction, then you're fair game.

So "approach" means moving away now? Wow, my understanding of English is terrible.

approach
əˈprəʊtʃ/Submit
verb
1.
come near or nearer to (someone or something) in distance or time.

synonyms: proceed towards, come/go towards, advance towards, go near/nearer, come near/nearer, draw near/nearer, come close/closer, go close/closer, draw close/closer, move near/nearer, edge near/nearer, near, draw near;

Depends what you consider the kickers approach to kick. Cruden does a little shake before he kicks the ball, is that part of his approach to kick?

Glad you quoted exactly what I said and veered off in a different direction. I've quoted both so you can compare.

When I said steps, of course what I meant was shaking, smiling or drawing a line with your eyes from the ball to the posts. Right?

@Snowy I have no idea about flying so am guessing​ here, but on your approach to the runway, are you always moving directly towards the runway?

the law also says 'or start to kick'

Clarity in laws? Never!

Nothing to do with flying, it's the definition of approach I think? To answer your question though - final approach is directly toward the runway.

@Snowy ok... when I approach the entrance to my flat, I walk past it. Sure I may be walking away from the entrance technically, but I'd say I'm approaching the entrance. When you pass the ball, on the pullback to build momentum, are you passing the ball?

Not if you dummy...

[Bones]

@antipodean well why is it called a dummy pass? Misleading bloody language and it's propensity to not be technically correct!

[Snowy]

@Bones Mate the definition of "approach" is above. If you move away from something you are not approaching it in my view.

[Bones]

@Snowy ok you're right. Most others are wrong.

[Snowy]

@Bones OK

[Bones]

@Snowy might want to go through the law book and check all the other wording which is technically incorrect, chances are you'll have a field day...

Forward pass?

WTF! When you approach your flat and walk past? the things that people argue about on here is gold!

[Bones]

@taniwharugby can't walk through walls bro!

[taniwharugby]

@Bones seriously bro, too early to be drinking or taking drugs!

Plus, if a half back passes like you say, he gets shit for not being fast enough

I'm struggling to make sense of this...

[taniwharugby]

@Bones thats cos you are on drugs....

you said

You want your halfback to pass in one motion, not the Bones pull pass!

You're struggling to understand the word "approach".

No. IMO it's like (what used to be ) Dan Biggar's pre kick dance.

You're struggling to understand the word "approach".

Au contraire, it seems I'm not, as is shown every rugby game. Maybe you're struggling to understand the interpretation... surely you haven't only just started watching?
