The difference being the ball bouncing off you rather than playing from possession
Gets murky eh, is chest or shoulder a knock on? Dollars to donuts anytime someone tries to catch a kick/pass and it goes forward off shoulder/chest/thigh it gets called knock on.

great effort Booboo. Loving this entirely theoretical rugby law chat.
If you go for a ball without trying to catch it to block a pass and it goes forwards, then I would suggest that could be considered an intentional knock on, as you intended not to catch it and you knocked it on...

I came here for a bit of game analysis and all I can find are nerds talking about law interpretations.
And you repeat yourself.
Well there could be a guest spot here by SBW or Marshall talking about law interpretations...

Not if you're Joe Marler?

@Booboo - Nigel has just confirmed in Whistle Watch what I've said above, go one handed, no attempt to catch, if it goes forward, irrespective of what direction your hand is moving etc, then it would have been penalty for an intentional knock on

A better angle Kolbe's charge down, absolute perfect timing, sorry on TikTakTo

@TeWaio Slippery slope there. There was nothing wrong with the French pass that Etzebeth slapped down. Etzebeth took the risk, not the French passer. He got away with it. I imagine he wouldn't if Wayne Barnes was reffing
I thought he had his hand in front of ball and was trying to reef/knock it backwards, and that was why I thought BOK got it right. I definitely didn't see it as a knock down. But then again I haven't ben back to study it again, as I not sure I would get anything out of it.
Again, knock DOWN is not illegal.
Couldn't agree more mate, I never really thought O'Keefe got call wrong.
I can't believe anyone thinks it is. -

3-2 errors, a card each, nearly balances out?
Do they want go back and run the rule over Wayne Barnes' performance in the 2007 France/ABs match?

Tellingly, there's no actual evidence of WR admitting to mistakes.

Perfect timing IMHO
