@Snowy oh and...about that "struggling to understand the meaning of advance".... what now?
It's "approach". It's in the laws and it still pisses me off when a kicker moves away from the ball and the oppo charge. O.K?

@Bones no that was in relation to you walking past your entrance to approach it (another poorly worded one?)

Nope, just poorly understood. Let's say your front door is on the middle of the front of your house. You have a driveway down the side and a fence in front. If you walk to where your driveway is on entering the property, you've walked away from your front door. Pretty simple stuff.

So you guys reckon it is a change of interpretation since 2014? Or did Owens get it wrong and it should have been a draw with Ireland?
What @Bones said
Cruden has a couple of "steps" to steady himself at the back of his run up before he settles. Much like Foxy used to shake his hands. This fooled the Irish into charging early.

@Bones righto, see that is different to your first statement...
when I approach the entrance to my flat, I walk past it.
anyway, think we'll leave it here aye...

Personally i think the interpretation of the conversion charge down is stupid as well. IMO It should be clarified and interpreted as "moving towards the ball" or better still fuck the whole concept off. It adds very little to the game but can lead to situations like against ireland which are a bit of a farce.
By the way you aren't approaching your front door if you are walking away from it. You may think you are or be on your way there along the easiest route but it is incorrect use of the word. Just because it is commonly used doesn't make it right. Just like people using the word average to say something is bad.

Tell me how you get to an entrance on the other side of a wall, oh studly wall smasher.

Think that was more a "beginning his approach" situation so fair game for whoever charged it down.
