@bones said in NH International Rugby:
@mariner4life I thought I got schooled on here a year or two ago that you can go as soon as it's thrown if you're the receiver? Something like that.
I would need to see that in the laws
Yeah I've got no idea but I made a similar call as you and I think it was @Damo who informed me I was a stupido.
I don't think I'm making that up. The laws seem to point to what you're saying on a quick glance though.
Estupido, as I recall. I remember being grumpy about people not knowing what I considered a basic law. Apologies.
You can run as soon as the ball leaves the throwers hands. If the ball doesn't go over the 15m you are offside though.
That law hasn't changed since I first became a ref, some 22 years ago. If you think about it, that has to be the way, otherwise the player in the backline would never be up fast enough to catch the ball.
I always thought there was something not quite right about you. Clear as day now.
Those who can't play ... ref.

On that basis there should be a lot more refs around!

@stargazer That is a lovely note from Stander. Good on him.
Wonder if the prospect of playing for the Lions against SA was too much for him. He's clearly died in the wool Sith Ifrican who took a job playing for Ireland.

@mikethesnow That's going to be some battle of the back rows. Pretty evenly matched. I think the key will be how the French half-backs go, it's the only area where I feel they have a distinct edge over your boys, though Jallibert in particular can be a bit hot and cold.
Should be a good match.

England team to face Ireland in Dublin.
England: Malins; Watson, Daly, Farrell (capt), May; Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, Cowan-Dickie, Sinckler, Itoje, Ewels, Wilson, Curry, B Vunipola.
Replacements: George, Genge, Stuart, Hill, Earl, Robson, Lawrence, Marchant.
I am more and more convinced that Eddie was touring over here back in early 1992 and fathered an out of wedlock son. His mother decided to call him Elliot and told him tales of his rugby playing father which made him determined to become a rugby player himself.
Poor young Odogwu, brought into the squad on the back of some outsanding performances in the Premiership. Slade gets injured so Odogwu gets his chance. No wait, we'll slot an out of form full back in there instead. Well at least he'll be on the bench and get his chance I hear you say. But no, we will bring in someone from outside the squad to fill that position. Watch Odogwu declare for Italy and carve up against us in the years to come.
Other than that, not much to complain about, though I might have had Earl starting in the place of Wilson who seems short of a gallop.

It’s only Italy. Scotland could spend all night on the Famous Grouse and still hammer them by 20 the next day.

Good maths. Eddie would be ashamed.

@bones He was very baby faced. Easy mistake to make.
