Law 12 definition from World Rugby laws:<br>
"A knock-on occurs when a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it.<br>
‘Forward’ means towards the opposing team’s dead ball line.<br>
If a player in tackling an opponent makes contact with the ball and the ball goes forward from the ball carrier’s hands, that is a knock-on.<br>
If a player rips the ball or deliberately knocks the ball from an opponent's hands and the ball goes forward from the ball carrier's hands, that is not a knock-on."<br><br>
So as you said Nick, just with more words.<br><br>
I think I had something at the back of my mind where off the knee was a knock on, not a kick. Then again, our Welsh brethren will remember Mark Ring who occasionally used to chip over the defensive line off his knee and gather the other side (hard to read from the defender's pov). Paul Turner used to do it too, I think. Great trick. I think maybe that was ruled "a throw forward on to the knee", and therefore a knock-on. However, back to the present day. Game on. -

<p>Soft as fuck. Wallaby flankers are putting everything in the scrum this week, and they are slow off every time.</p>

<p>Try to the dim one</p>

That looked good in real time, but short on first couple of replays. Good job they had that last angle. Great awareness by Hooper to finish that off.
