Northland v Waikato

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer he slammed him down, if he'd let him down he'd have been ok

[Machpants]

Jesus defence so so bad

[taniwharugby]

@machpants looked like Roe touched the line on the opposite side

No I don't think so on sky, 4k screen, not quite to me

[taniwharugby]

How we were outflanked by a team 1 down says it all really

[Yeetyaah]

@taniwharugby eh you're probably still gonna win

[Machpants]

Oo9ooooooh that was close.

Backs overcommitted to ruck.

[taniwharugby]

@machpants where did we knock that on, Olsen put it down and it rolled forward didn't it

Dunno he grabbed at it again I think, and knocked it

[Yeetyaah]

Holy shit Northland had a 4-1 overlap and they fucked it up.

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah Lack of patience.

[taniwharugby]

If that's first off red shouldn't it be a penalty?

Didn't fuck it up of the ruck, oh yeah!

[Stargazer]

That's a great try! Denying Waikato a second bp.

[antipodean]

Ball is behind him. That shouldn't be a try. WTF is Mike Fraser drunk?

[Yeetyaah]

Can you stand Infront of the ball like that and take it off the back of the ruck? Genuine question

[taniwharugby]

@yeetyaah depends on the ref...Sotutu did a few weeks back but Kerevi couldn't...

[Toddy]

I think @NTA posted the rules the other day. I can't remember what it was when one foot is behind the ball.

Find it.

@nzzp said in All Blacks vs Pumas II:

Anyone know what the actual rule on picking up the ball from inside a ruck is? Do you just need something behind that last foot? Because ruling one out last week and letting it stand this week is a bad look for world rugby.

@Damo @NTA or any other refs?

From the most recent Game Management Guidelines:

"At a tackle, a player can pick up the ball as long as one foot is level with or behind the ball. At a ruck, a
player can pick up the ball as long as both feet are level with or behind the ball. If a player is still bound
with an opponent, then they cannot pick up the ball."

So if there is no ruck, one foot. If it's a ruck and you're not bound to an opponent, two feet.

No, I didn't see him pick up. But if he didn't have a foot behind the ball, he's outsider. Unless ref decided it wasn't a ruck
