Crusaders v Stormers
-
if that deserves more than a penalty, then the hightackle that wasnt released earlier warrants more attanetion

-
Mounga parts the Stormers to run in a nice try
-
interesting that a deliberate knock back is seen different to a failed intercept knock forward, in that case was no way he was going to get the ball and was only slapping back to stop the pass.

Fuck, I'm reading that Mo'unga may have a broken jaw. How long does that take to heal?
6 weeks.

Why is it interesting? Knocking the ball backwards is perfectly legal.

@damo I realize it is legal, just stating how I saw that play, the action was deliberate knock, we see some genuine intercepts penalized yet he was never going to get the ball, just slapped at it, IMO is just as bad as the other way.

Yes but it was a deliberate knock backwards, which is totally fine and within both the laws and spirit of the game. Playing the ball backwards is an integral part of rugby.
Might seem wrong, but it shouldn't.
